Water Cooling GPU

[Rendezvous]

Just had a quick question. Lets say i have 2 GTX Titans in SLI AND i want to purchase water cooling for my gpu.. something like Kraken™ G10. Do I need Two Kraken™ G10? or just one when running SLI?

Also do you guys think the new GTX 800 series coming out will need water cooling?

You would need two Kraken cooling units to cool two separate cards. Given that your cards are in SLI you should ensure that there is the required 32.5mm distance (really slightly more to allow airflow to the Kraken's cooling fan) between your two Graphics Cards' PCIe x16 slots to accomodate the cooling units.

I'd assume that most Graphics Cards, with the stock coolers, will run slightly hotter than is healthy for the card when under heavy load. Custom cooling solutions are usually the difference between a GPU that lasts two years and one that lasts 4 years or more, assuming you really tax the component to its limits.

I agree with Thelps. You should probably get those and the Kraken X40/X60.
I have a stocked cooled overclocked 780 (Currently the 2nd most powerful card on the market that isn't $3000) and I hit 77° under 100% load. You will be fine. I'd just get an EVGA superclocked ACX cooled 880.

Just buy a Kraken G10 and a Kraken X40 (X60 if it fits...)
