What do I need to liquid cool Posiedon gtx 780

[LiquidAurum]

That card looks cool, makes the whole liquid cooling process fairly simple, now I'm just curious what do you need to set it up? I'm looking for specific model names, and something fairly cheap and get's the job done well.

And for final question will ASUS continue making these? I see on newegg that it says not available I don't know if that's because they're out of stock or no longer in production. And if they do continue manufacturing for this card will this kind of card ever go to future cards? gtx 900 series? or maybe even AMD eventually?

P.S. Talking about this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121869

The Poseidon made quite a "splash" (pun intended) and I hope they will continue to offer it. With the popularity of AIOs for CPU cooling, logic dictates that more will follow. And now with the Swiftech H220-X being $200+ of custom loop parts assembled into an open loop kit (You could add more blocks) it makes it very easy:

Here's what I'd use in a Poseidon based build:


Asus Maximus VII Formula w/ built-in MoBo Water Block ($315)
Asus Posiedon 780 ($440)
4790k ($340)
16 GB Mushkin 2133 CAS 9 ($150)
Phanteks Enthoo Pro or Luxe case ($100 - $150)

Swiftech H220-X CPU Cooler ($140)
240mm Radiator ($55)
Extra Tubing ($10)
Two fitting for Radiator and two for MoBo Water Block ($20)

So it's not really built for those gpu water coolers as much as it's built for entire liquid cooling huh?

Normally you need a GPU block to attach a GPU to a watercooling loop and cool it.
The podeidons have a integrated GPU block, so you don't need the extra block.
Just to cool the GPU, you would need a radiator, pump, tubing, fittings and a reservoir, to add in the cpu you'll need a cpu block and additional radiator.
The h220x is a expandable WC kit, and a good bang/bucks water cooling entry. Closed liquid coolers like corsair h100i are not even much better than good air coolers!
Like jack proposed, getting a h220x as base and than expanding it will save you a pile of money 😀
