ok so ive been kicking around this idea to watercool my areca 1880IX-12. there are two HS on the device itself.
this thing is no slouch. it kicks off some serious heat. it will run @ 75C idle on the ROC with no air on the HS. also, the expander (the HS near the rear of the card) will run @ 65C idle. so i have two fans on the side of my rig pointed directly at these HS, and i am trying to go completely silent.
i am contemplating getting the new EK ram sink for my Doms' as well, and putting these two into a loop for themselves, with just a single 120 rad on them. The main reason for the separation of them onto their own loop is i switch gear alot. i dont want to deal with the headache of connecting/disconnecting this big ol loop everytime i switch GPU/CPU, so best to keep those separate.
however, i need ideas on where to even find a block for this beast, and the feasibility of this. gimme some criticism here plz
some varied pics here...
