thinking of selling my 1070 and getting 2 water cooled 1080tis, whats the most I

[Digital Drug Lord]

can fit in this case? I can sell my 1070 for a good price of maybe $700, and I bought my PC for $800 on black friday so here are my specs

Motherboard : MSI Z270 PC Mate

Computer Case : PowerSpec ATX 767C

Case Orientation :Vertical

can I fit 3? Im debating going water cooled because the one thing that always breaks on a video card is the fans. plus summer time it gets really hot and i dont want problems

I would like to fit as many water cooled video cards as possible in this case, or, maybe get another case I never had water cooled anything so I dont know much, any input for pros and cons? anyone used one?

I see some video cards are hybrids. are these better then regular water cooled video cards?

bascially to get as many 1080tis water cooled I can in a case, I dont know if my idea will work or if its worth it

Looking at your MB I think you can only fit 2, unless you want to mod and use risers.  I have some cards that are AIO and some that are custom.  Custom takes a little more time and planning but makes for a much neater case.  To many AIO in one case can get sloppy real fast.  Because of that I have all of my AIO in an open frame case now.

Looking at your MB I think you can only fit 2, unless you want to mod and use risers.  I have some cards that are AIO and some that are custom.  Custom takes a little more time and planning but makes for a much neater case.  To many AIO in one case can get sloppy real fast.  Because of that I have all of my AIO in an open frame case now.

if I used a mod and some risers would my PC turn into an open case?  like the ones I see on youtube, most miners have it spread out open, would I have to spread out all my cards or could I fit 3 in the case or could I still  leave it closed and it look like a regular PC?

I would like to build 2 machines with at least 3 1080tis in each, water cooled, because of the heat, they will be in miami and it gets barbarically hot. having 3 water cooled 1080tis running at full speed, without worry of a fan breaking, since I will be 3000 miles away

water cooled might make more sense for me if I can pull it off

do they need maintenance? do you always have to refill the water  every other week  or some kind of regular service for a water cooled, or in this case 3 water cooled cards? Which cards should I be looking at?

Watercooling is very expensive. If you are mining for fun rather than profit then go ahead and waste your money.

If you use your 1070s properly and set the powerlimit low enough that you can run the fans at 60-65 they will last a very long time.

1080ti cards do have high hash rates for many algorithms, but they also use much more power than a 1070. 1070s are great if you manage them properly. You much better off spending the money you want to waste on watercooling equipment and buying more 1070s.

Water cooling rigs do not need flushing every week if you use proper coolant. I have watercooled CPUs that have been fine for 6 months, but like i said - the blocks for the GPUs, the pump, the radiator/s, reservoirs, pipes, fittings, etc are all VERY expensive. They are for pimping your rig when you want it to look cool, not for serious mining.

I was looking at this video card

http://www.gigabyte.us/Graphics-Card/GV-N108TAORUSX-WB-11GD#kf

it doesnt look cool it looks like a video card, I dont understand are water cooled rigs more for show? Im trying to put   3  water cooled video cards in a PC, leave it closed and in the corner  and leave it in a little old ladies house while it mines... little old lady being my grandmother. I not trying to have a flashing  case with neon lights and attract attention. I would still  need to buy the pump, the radiator/s, reservoirs, pipes, fittings even after I bought that card???
