Sorry guys, I have a small but not easy question: do you know how many degrees could add my 2 Titan V to my water loop?
It will affect so much my CPU temp?

Now the 7980XE Overlcocked at 4.3 on 16 core and 4.5 on 2 core, in idle is at 25 degrees average, with ambient temperature of 22.
Under Prime goes untl 85 degrees at 3.8 ghz on all cores. For other test doesn't go above 75 degrees.

My two Titan are 40/45 in idle with the fan at 30%. I would like to have them a bit lower, but especially keep them under 83 for a longer period under load, at least with higher frequencies! Before to put them under water i'll try to give them more fresh air.

Thanks a lot!

You could just put the top card under water and leave the second underneath it on air. I think it would easily be fine with your setup, but I don’t know about 2 of them OC’ed with the two rads.

I don't need to overclock them. My concerns are about the increasing temps on the CPU, if any.

Just received my waterblock. The motherboard should hopefully come tomorrow, followed by the ram over the weekend.

Edit: The block is huge and weighs 1kg.

would a sfx650watt gold be enough for gtx 1080ti black and 8700k oced to 5ghz with 1.26volt and a 240mm aio, 3 drives? I also have 2 noctua 15mm fans as well

Should be fine. GTX 1080ti under full load wattage runs about 300 watts and the 8700k at 5GHz runs just over 200 watts.

Edit: I sourced this information through a series of googles that pointed to some reddit benchmarks.

Anyone know if they make custom cables for the Thermaltake power supplies? I've tried looking for some for my TP Grand RGB 1200W, but I haven't seen any.

If you are concerned with silverstone, Evga and seasonic have good sfx/sfx-l psu with 650w power. I got the seasonic for my new Cerberus build personally.

I'd seriously consider a SFX-L unit, like the SX700-LPT. The fans on the standard silverstone SFX psus can get pretty noisy.
SFX tends to be noisy, especially on load and in a warm environment (ie SFF case..;)).
SFX-L is a very good compromise to reduce noise significantly.

I don't regret at all my sx800 lti...vs my SF600..;)
Seasonic sx650 seems to be also a very good choice (passive cooling at lo load, shorter sfx-l format, fdb fan).
