This GPU need hydro cooling system?

It doesn't. You do need to have a fair air flow. I have 5 fans in my case additional to the ones on the Graphic card and honestly it's more than necessary. Neither fan ever starts spinning around like crazy because of the heat, it always stays at a nice temperature even when I'm having a high performance.

It doesn't "need" hydro cooling. It is recommended though. I am using air cooling and both my cards run fine.

I don't know really. The PSU unit in FD 1000 is above, so it means the GPU is close to the bottom ... My advice is - you must have at least 12 cm between upper level of GPU and the bottom of the case. Good luck! :)

Hi,its not recommended to change the radiator. The cooling capacity should be enough for any graphics card. Best regards,Jens

This one is mATX board, 3 GPUs might be tough, I found tough to manage 1 GTX 690 itself. Apart from fitting these, GPU cooling might need pretty tight cabling. I would advice not to go for this GPU.

Hello,The one I have is CORSAIR Hydro Series H110 Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler and its doing an excellent job.

The case vents extremely well. I have a GTX 780, and running Battlefield 4 on ultra for hours my max temp is 62C. I have 2 fans on the front, 1 on the back, and an exhaust on the side in front of GPU. It would still run fine without those, I just wanted colored lights there.

The amount of heat that this GPU produces is too much. I personally use a 1050 Watts Seasonic PSU to stay on the safe side. I think 750W will run it with no problems although http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1851175/650w-psu-sapphire-280x-toxic.html is what you want to read.

No it did not have any water cooling setup in the case. Its the same case as the higher end one that comes with water cooling, but this case is bare.

If it's a stock system yes if it's a aftermarket system you might have to re arrange it. Personally I go air cooling but yes the liquid cooling holes are on the case! Your welcome!!

no, it's not needed unless you run at max output, look at picture at top between caps is the chip that gets hot I glued a little heatsink on that from a old VGA card

You can use it, but because of the 200+ watt TDP I would go with water cooling. I use a Corsair H100i with great results. Running at 5.2GHZ a core with average temps of 35c. With the Noctua I heard the averages are about 10 degrees higher.

i have the card and it's great but not the watercooling kit. Have not found the need to overclock it. It runs games great.

No, sorry not. The PSU is at the bottom of the tower and if you wish to go liquid cooling, the tank goes towards the top.

No, it would not provide enough cooling even if it did fit (which I'm not sure if it would). You need a better solution to cool a GTX 570 than what this would provide, otherwise you'd ruin the card by overheating.

It depends on your case. I have a full tower and I had room for 2 of these and my CPU is liquid cooled. The radiator for my CPU is mounted at the top of my case. One card cooled from the front of the case, the other through the back.

I would recommend using a ThermalTake branded Liquid Cooling system for this case. The following link will give an idea of one of these systems. Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer/All In One Liquid Cooling System CLW0215

No it dose not, the big brother with the ACX cooling requires it. This card also requires only 300 watt power supply to run at witch is amazing for the performance trough the new Maxwell architecture.
