What's the dimensions for the FET and VRAM? will 7x7mm do fine for FET and 15x15 for VRAM?

That really looks good and I am very tempted to do this type of thing to keep my temps down.

Edit:I used the enokay 14x12x5.5mm for the VRAM and some of the bunched up FETs and the Cosmos 20 pk which did not give the dimensions on the package but they are roughly a 1/4 the size of the VRAM sinks
I will have to check when I get home, I bought all my heatsinks on Amazon though (the ones with Chinese on the box) and they were made for FETs and VRAM respectively so the fit was pretty close

That looks fantastic. I didn't know the G12 worked with Corsiar AIOs, I thought it was just NZXT's AIOs it was compatible with. Where did you get your G12 from?

I bought the G12 from nzxt directly and they have a list of the different coolers you can use on their site, if you wanted a cheaper version of this the corsair h55 works and is just 60 bucks on Amazon, plus 30 bucks plus shipping for the g12

It looks really thick in your first pic. How thick is the G12 since I've got two 1080Ti's in SLI. Is it 2.5 card slots or still just 2? I should be alright either way since I've also got a slot between my cards but I might not when I upgrade my mobo next month.

I'm not sure to be honest but depending on where you can put your hoses it might be possible, SLI is out of the question on my build since the only way I could run my hoses without putting alot of pressure on the card was to let them hang like that, there should be dimensions on the nzxt site though, so if you measure from your 1st pci slot to the next and add a little room (10mm?) for the mounting bracket you could check like that


Edit #2: It looks like SLI will work as long as you can attach your hoses to the bracket to keep them out of the way, took a picture to better show the spacing, the front part of the bracket you see there is about 3/4 of an inch past where the bottom card would be so you only have to worry about the pump and G12 fan

NZXT says VRM temps are around 45degrees without heatsinks and just the G12 itself, are VRM heatsinks really needed at all? It costs me around 40-50euro to do the heatsink mod for one card.

Honestly you may be fine without them, you can always try it without and check your temps then add them later if you feel it's getting too hot. VRM components are usually rated for something like 120C so unless you have a case that has limited airflow or its very hot where you live its probably overkill to add them. I went ahead and put them on mine for peace of mind, but that money may have been better spent on upgrading the G12's fan to a Noctua or something

I run a G10 without VRM or VRAM heat sinks. It worked fine for a 980 Ti Classified, a 980 Ti G1 Gaming, a 1080 ACX 3.0, and now my 1080 Ti DR.

VRM temps were around 60 to 70 degrees C and VRAM temps were 20 to 30C lower - all while looping the Valley benchmark while overclocked. I've got a large case with three 200mm fans blowing in from the side, and that likely helps keep things nice and cool along with the little G10 fan.
