MSI 560ti water block

[Steveps3]

Hi,

I've got 3 x msi 560GTX ti twin frozr GPUs that I am looking to water cool. Can anyone make spme recommendations? I have a CM Storm Trooper case so I should be ok for rad space. What I don't know is whether I could achieve this on a single loop? Does anyone know of a suitable water block for these cards? I've looked around and can't find a definative answer. I use the rig for 3D rendering and at the moment the 560s start to resemble hovercrafts after a few hours at 100% load. Temps are ok on stock fans it is just the noise that I'd like to reduce.

Cheers

You can't do 3 way SLI with 560Ti's?!?

This should help you out dude. http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/

Ek dont make a full cover one you are stuck with universal blocks im afraid and the 560 only has one sli connector

I don't recall mentioning anything about SLI?

I know, but unless you're not rendering 3 different things on 3 different GPU's it won't help you.

Actually you are wrong. My 3 cards work perfectly fine as they are. Thanks for the concern though.

The universal water blocks, do you need to cool the ram chips or are they ok uncooled? Obviously if I am going to add cooling just for these then this sort of defeats the purpose of water cooling.

Stick heatsinks on the ram and vrm's, should be ok if you got good ventilation in your case... Lots of these are available on the tinterent...

May I ask why 3 x 560 ?? Are you folding ? Or maybe two in SLI and dedicated Physx ?

triple 560? you mean two in sli and one for physx?

Thanks for that. i will check them out.

I mean that I have 3 graphics cards plugged into 3 PCI-e slots. They are all used to 3D rendering using Octane. They do not need to be SLI'd in fact they would not work in Octane if they were SLI'd. I am not sure why every time I ask a question about having 3 GPUs I have to explain this. I very much appreciate all the help that people can give me but it really does annoy me when people try to pretend that they know more about a subject when it is patently obvious that they do not.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend but believe me that my 3 cards work perfectly as they are configured. I understand that other programs may require SLI but I do not. The problem I have is that they really get noisy when I have been rendering all night.

No need to be snotty. I'm just doubting that 3 560Ti's will work together when rendering one project though. Surely SLI ribbons would enable all the GPU's power to be used on the process? Thats how games work, I know rendering is different mind...

Its not like games where each card has to sync up its frames, They just take bits as it finishes its previous one, different parts will take different amounts depending on what is needed of that little section.

Sorry, I didn't mean to but every time I mention that I have 3 cards on any of these forums I get exactly the same answer. Namely people insisting that I have to have my cards in SLI when I 100% know that I do not.

No worries dude, I shouldnt have really said anything anyway because I dont know out 'bout rendering!
