Greetings!
I'm willing to get a Graphics Card Radeon R9 290X to add to my current system but I was concern about two things.
1st: The power required, is my PSU with 720W has sufficient wattage to carry the load or not ?
2nd: I heard that this card has issue with heating and the temperature reaches around 90 degree.
so I was thinking about getting a liquid cooling kit.
I've been through alot of threads and sites and all of them suggesting a customized kits which I don't want.
I want it to be simple not complicated.
I was thinking about something but I wonder if it will work.
If I could make a cooler to my CPU & GPU with a Hydro Series™ H100i .
I know this is designed for CPU only but if I could get an extension tube from the CPU and connect it to the GPU (I will need a GPU block) and then to the radiator to make a loop similar to the customized kits but with less complex.
I'm concern also about leakage of water if I could do this with preventing leakage from happening
My PC components :
CPU: AMD FX 9370
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
Memory: 1X 8GB 1600 Corsair XMS
Fans: 2 Corsair
Storage: 1 SSD with 128GB & 1 HDD Seagate with 2TB
PSU: Gigabyte 720 Watt
I hope the idea is clear and someone could help me with that.
Thanks
