They have standard G1/4 inch threads so you can use any fitting you like and tubing to connect them. There is no special connector for them you will have to fashion your own along the lines kkn suggests.


Pic gives you an idea but your cards are closer together so you may have to angle things


While the swiftech h220 is customisable (I suspect they are trying to sell you one per GPU?) I would not bother myself...better to work out a loop for yourself with better radiator(s) and a pump good for high restriction like the MCP35X which you can find already combined with a reservoir...even in a bay reservoir for example...

I'm with kkn for three GPUs I'd say 2x240 or 1x 480.....for CPU as well 1x360 and 1x240 for example. Less will work but wont give you great temps as it becomes heat saturated on a long gaming session...

Thanks for the reply guys. I was thinking of the H220-X. which would be a double 120mm rad at the top, which i would use for the cpu.. then add a loop in for the GPU's with an extra pump, with a double and triple rad from either EK or alphacool and mount at the bottom of the case. that was one idea.. and then depending on how to connect the video cards, that was the deciding factor. If i can just do like you did, that would be cool...

my secondary, but more costly way was..

order a complete custom kit from EK. (2) triples, one for top and one for bottom, and a (1) double for the bottom. having the one triple at bottom doing intake, and the double right across from it there at the bottom using exhaust. then the triple at top would be set for exhaust as well. then the 3 fans in the front of the case would be just for regular air intake.. as well as the rear 140mm. but choosing which pump and so forth has yet been chosen. I would love to do a hardline, but figure for the first one I will just go with soft tubing. but when i chose this case, I chose an external dvd drive to keep the top clean and gutted for some spare space.. i would love to do a bay reservoir, move my HDD cage from the bottom right of the cage to right under where the optical bays are. throw in both the triple and double rads at bottom along with the pump.. and mount a triple or quad rad at top.. I want to keep my loop clean and simple. so i would more likely use more fittings to keep the angles so the tubing will be more or so straight... like a hardline would look. RED tubing, and distilled water to keep it simple. should flow with the theme of the build, which if your interested to see what I am working with, can be seen here: https://youtu.be/X66_qLfpaT4 (with the exception of only 2-way sli not all three cards in).


so with this all in mind. you would suggest the MCP35x.. and whats your take on EK vs Alphacool. and would you go for compression or the barbed fittings.. thanks again in advance!! ROG ftw!!!!

always add on some extra monney ( trust me on this )

LOL...too true

Can't say better than what kkn has put up there...

Pump choice?...D5 is a good pump too... just for 3 Poseidons in series maybe the restriction would favour the MCP...

I have a couple of D5s myself (for redundancy) since my loop is parallel, high flow GPU blocks and "fat tubing"...D5s like unrestricted flow
Not my pic up there by the way just pulled example off the net.

I have alphacool rads now and love them...better than my EK radiators but EK have a new line which I have not tried...

Nice rig by the way!

Hey guys, So I finally received a reply back from EK. here is the information that was given.. which is another option, definitely a more expensive way.. but again, money really isn't an issue, I want this thing to be done and done right 🙂

First off, I would like to determine, if these are your GPUs?
http://configurator.ekwb.com/step1_complist?gpu_gpus=1577
If they are, you can see all the compatible waterblocks with them here.

If you want to have multiple radiators in your case(and you need at least two to watercool CPU and 3 GPUs), I think you should go with this KIT.
https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-kit-d360-x2-caselabs-mercury-s8-drop-in
It has 2 radiators and everything you need to setup your watercooling system. It also have a very nice reservoir/pump combo which eliminates the question of where to put the pump.
You only need to add water blocks for the GPUs, 2 fittings and a Terminal to interconnect the GPUs.

GPU Blocks – 3X
If you have the GPUs in that link, than you need three of these.

Fittings - 2X

Terminal
Which one you need depends on the slots you are using for your GPUs.
If you are using these slots, than you need this terminal - https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-fc-terminal-triple-serial-csq



so for you guys taking the time to reply, VERY much appreciated btw.. what would you guys do? would you grab the kit, and just do a setup like the above posted pic.. or go full out and order the water blocks and go about it that way. so in the kit, it comes with (2) triple rads.. i have already opened up my case and moved my HDD cage from the bottom right to the top underneath the optical drive bay. so now I have LOTS of space in the bottom, easily able to fit the Triple rad. and mounting the other at the TOP of the case. these are the new model they offer, i guess they are supposed to be pretty good considering the review i seen. not sure of the pump/res combo.. but I am assuming since its apart of one the most expensive kits they have it must be decent... and IMO cant go wrong since it's only one, not two things to mount. so what do you guys think I should do here? save the money on the water blocks and use these like the diagram above, or take the full leap and do it all. looking forward to hearing back 🙂 thanks again for your input~

thanks again you two! it looks as if I will be going with the blocks. I was just aiming towards a Kit because it already has everything included. but now that I know what I will be doing.. it shouldn't be too hard to get everything narrowed down. so I will list off the components I am looking at, along with a diagram of what I think my loop will look like, and I would much appreciate if you guys could give me some feedback on that that would be awesome!

I will be using fittings to make up for not doing hardline. I know it will be a bit more costly using more fittings, but I am going for a clean finish here.. right now I am rather stumped on my loop, I have come up with multiple ways, but would really like to hear from you guys on suggestions. I have attached a diagram of what the setup will be inside of the case., its a PNG to edit and re-post. Until I get this plotted out, I am unsure of what and how many fittings I will exactly be needing. I did choose the 1/2" 3/4" tubing. I know I will be needing to add in a drain port too, i figured I would add this in under the pump, in the line between pump to bottom rad. Thanks again for all your help! looking forward to hearing back as always.
