I am fortunate enough to have an ASUS 280 GTX & a BFG 280GTX oc2.
It looks like I will have to get rid of one.
So the question is which one?

asus, the bfg has a better warranty and customer support.

I have the ASUS in my system now with a water block fitted and I am very happy with it.
I would put both cards in but I don't think the water system would take it.

what rad have you got on the system ?

I have a XSPC RX360 with three Xilence Red Wing fans pulling air through it.

it will cope, buy another block and slap it in there :D

a 360 will easily cope, do it! Is it just a gpu loop though, if it has more in it might struggle

I have more in the loop
Also have a Q6600 and the north bridge
When the new core i7 D0 stepping comes out I will be getting that.
So it will be the CPU, NB and GPU

if your worried you coud add a 120mm rad into the mix, i have a tripple on top of the case and a pa160 bolted to the 120mm rear fan out on the back of the case :)

I thought about that.
I have a Coolermaster S and I may fit a single rad in the bottom next to the PSU.
I have only just put the XSPC rad in this week and I have a terrible air lock. (Sounds like a drain) :mad:

yeh i have great fun chasin air locks, tipping the case upside down & on its side works wonders ;)

If thats the Cosmos S you have then you should be able to fit a 240 rad like this if you dont have your drive bays filled.

I have had it in all six directions and it still sounds like I am flushing the toilet
Thought I had got rid of it but it has returned
Have given up for the moment as I will be swapping things around again next month.

I have drives in most of the bays.
I was looking to put the rad where that pump is mounted in the link.
My pump is also in that area at the moment but I was going to move it further up and place the rad underneath it.

The core i7 is a very hot running cpu, so I would highly consider using 2 loops, and therefore using what you have now for the gpu's then adding a cpu only loop (maybe NB too) later on, then a 240 rad would be fine.

What about the pump (sorry if this is a really stupid question, not done any w/cooling myself), but would a single pump cope with two GPU's, two rads, CPU, northbridge? (suppose it depends on the pump in question tho)
