Calling all watercooling experts

yawhat!

My current rig is below.

8GB-Kit Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz CL9
ASRock Z87 Extreme3, Sockel 1150, ATX
Two ASUS R9290-4GD5, AMD Radeon R9 290, 4GB DDR5 in crossfire.
be quiet! PURE POWER L8 700W (1000 Watt on Order)
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - Intel/AMD
Intel Core i5-4670K Box, LGA1150
Samsung SSD 840 EVO Basic 120GB SATA 6Gb/s
WD Blue 1TB 6Gb's
Corsair 300R

I have two R9 290s in crossfire and i5 overclocked to 4.4 Ghz. I was wondering what would I would need to watercool the two R9 290's and to watercool the processor. Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately the 300R is a pretty bad case for water. The top mount will only just about fit a 30mm rad, as far as I know, and to fit anything in the front, you'd have to get the dremel out. I'd say you'd want to add another ~€100 into the budget (of what will probably end up being €450 for WC alone) for this to work.

You could cool it with these:

and 2 of these:

or instead of the first link these two:

and
http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/customer/Alphacool-NexXxoS-UT60-Full-Copper-240mm-Dual-Radiator-pid-14818.html

Me personally I would just pick the 360mm rad as would work out about 80 cheaper.

Let us know how you get on, crossfire 290 needs to be watercooled! I'll be doing the same in the next month or two myself hopefully depending on funds.
