Whitewater and SLI

JAM_N1 · 02-16-2005, 09:15 PM

I was wondering if when running a aquaextreme 50z pump, through 1/2", to a whitewater cpu block, would there be enough pressure to feed gpu's in SLI, one from each of the 2 outlet's? If this can be done, what would be the best gpu cooler?

i luv my swifty mcw 50... a maze gpu from danger den might be a good choice as well

I totally misread the question first time lol.

I am cooling an SLI rig too and from the info. i gathered here and other places the maze 4 seemed the best fit due to it's lower flow resistance than compared to the Silverprop Fusion HL, which would probably be the better choice for 1 GPU.

So i grabbed 2 of the acetal maze 4's ......don't think u can go too far wrong with this block to be honest. U could always look at a block covering the memory too, but i think it's overkill and will just restrict the flow even further. Some sinks will do the memory just fine.

This Thread has some info from a question like yours. It has some figures to give you an idea about the amount of heat being dumped into your cooling loop.

Thanks for the info. I just wanted to make sure there was enough flow from 1 of the exit ports of the whitewater to feed 1 of the gpu's, like using the whitewater as a "Y" hose splitter so to speak.
