I want to water cool my 2 gygabite gtx 970's in sli

MAINLY because I'm having temp issues with my cards

Nvidia control panel shows there in sli

Ex gpu 1 underload between 58 and 67c

GPU 2 runs runs at 42c underload

I looked into h10 n970 from corsair but doesn't fit my cards

Are the there coolers that will fit my gpus with out doing a custom loop
 
For SLI a custom loop is probably more desirable as it will take up less space.

But if you insist you'll need to specify your exact model of GPUs.

But in general the NZXT G10 Kraken bracket, and the Asetek style closed loop coolers of your choice that meets their compatibility requirements, will fit most GPUs.

A more expensive option might be the EK Predator quick disconnect and pre-filled coolers.
 


still the same answer as before

58 and 67c is perfectly fine for a gtx970 at 100% load

42c under load isnt right its either not reading that right or its not under full load

at 67c under full load it doesnt need watercooling theres no temperature issue there

 



thats normal for sli

one card restricts the airflow of the other card

plus looks like your second card isnt getting fully loaded any way
 


depends what it was doing when you read the temps it might not have needed to fully load the second card

but those cards wont thermal throttle till an awful long way above your temperatures

you are unduly worried over temperatures that are perfectly acceptable



 
i just looked at my fps in far cry4 and there at 30fps lol i was under the impression my temps were to high rules that out so i was going to water cool them

im running a corsair 750m PSU are my cards not getting anouph power than nothing is OC
 
try a graphics benchmark not sure how well sli ran in far cry 4 to be honest

and what resolution are you at?

see how you score in unigine heaven--i have a single gtx970 you can compare against---though mine is overclocked but should still give an idea if your sli is working ok
 
1488mhz?

and it shouldnt lock at 60fps on unigine--unless its caused by vsync being on?

temps dont matter its what score and fps unigine heaven gives you

using these settings

api--dx11

quality--ultra

anti aliasing--off

tessalation--normal

stereo 3d --disabled

multi monitor--disabled

fullscreen unticked

resolution--1920 x 1080


thats what i just tested mine at for you to compare
 
1478 score
1080 wont go over 60fps for some reason
ultra setting and extreme tessalation

i re ran it and its locking it at 60 i dont have a v sync monitor

and i dont see a option to disable v-sync on the benchmark

what did you score?
