I'm considering going to a water cooled setup for the cards I currently have, or swapping them out for Hybrids. This will be used for Octane Rendering. I'd love to see if anyone here has a build that's similar.

Thanks for the info on that rig. It's a beast, but man. I watched the update video and that's exactly my worry. He had leaks with the tubing and it sprayed everywhere. I need something as fool proof and reliable as possible because I'll be using it for 3D rendering and motion graphics on a daily basis. I know water cooling has evolved, but it kind of scares me. Not sure if I should be scared or not. hah.

AIO units like the hybrid are very safe. Not much to worry about these days with all in one coolers.

I would probably go with all Hybrids, but I'm not sure I'd be able to fit 4 Hybrids in a single case. Or at least my case. I have the Corsair 750D.

Might look like an angry octopus but spec wise it might be possible to place 4 Hybrids in there. Depending on the other hardware you have in the case, along with fans and such.
 
 Your case: Radiator Mount Locations
Front: 240/280mm-------------- 1 Radiator/ possibility of 2, one in line with the other pending true dimensions of radiator overall besides being a "120"
Top: 240/280/360mm----------- 1 Radiator/ possibility of 2, one in line with the other pending true dimensions of radiator overall besides being a "120"
Rear: 120/140mm -------------- 1 Radiator
Bottom: 120/240mm------------ 1 Radiator
 
Maybe contact the OP in the thread I suggested and get some ideas, also remember he used "hard line" for tubing. There is also the option of using soft tubing too. Going in that direction would add cost though compared to AIO

Or look into buying a couple of 240mm EKB Predator AIO setups.
