CPU/GPU cooling with GPU bracket

[markPrzy]

I have an i7-4790k, and a r9270x. Looking to liquid cool both, was wondering if I could use a h100i gtx on both of them, like two separate h100i's, I think I only have place for one radiator in my thermaltake urban s31 case, so I was just wondering how it would all work with a nzxt kraken g10 bracket for the GPU. It doesn't have to be the h100i either, I'm just wondering if I could do both without a full closed loop

You can cool both but it would require 2 closed loop coolers. Although they have come out with AIO liquid coolers that you can add to so you can order another radiator and parts for a GPU but this tech is really new and costly at the moment. The Kraken needs a pump/plate that turns (needs to be round) to lock into the bracket so for the GPU be sure the AIL liquid cooler you purchase for it will work.

I recoment using 2 different coolers as you mentioned and all will work out.

hadn't even thought of it, but will these brackets even work with my card, its an asus directcu ii 270x

Yes they work on most 200 series cards except the 280 and 280X and that is because they turned the GPU 45° and recessed them in so the Kraken G10 will not work on those without a shim that kills the efficiency . The Kraken G10 will work on the 270X though.

from the NZXT web site for the Kraken G10:
AMD : R9 290X*, 290*, 280X**, 280**, 270X, 270 HD7970**, 7950**, 7870, 7850, 6970, 6950, 6870, 6850, 6790, 6770, 5870, 5850, 5830
* Do NOT force the G10 to fit if your card is too thick, contact support for a revised screw set.
** Some variations in AMD die height may require the use of a shim.

so it covers what you want to do.
