I think what he meant was the exact one that they make to fit your card or do they even make one that fits that card ?? [that's not a universal fit ]

I guess ?/ just get there kit that covers all you need for a complete system loop . could just sell that card off and just get a evga hybrid and have a plug and play water card with out investing in a whole new water loop system ?? then you got to do all the work swaping things on the card and hope you don't damage something or put it together right ??

thing is you got to do as you want to and try it all out and then draw a experience conclusion on if its all worth it or not to you

[I'm no expert either ]

good luck

Ouch. then I might change the thermal paste..then again, maybe the termal paste is just fine.
I bought the card 1 year ago, maybe 2..
Anyway, after I check the pastte and the thermal strips....

EDIT: I thought that's why this website https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc970-gtx-tf5-acetal-nickel

It does it for you..more or less.
and thanks for the help.

well I don't think you can tie it into your Corsair Hydro Series H110i and why I think you would need a real loop for cpu and gpu use ??

me here I never needed a cpu water cooler but I would like to try the evga 980 ti hybrid

may contact corsairs support on cutting the lines on that unit and if the pump is strong enough to push the cards block on top of the rest ??

if your card is not getting over like 80c at long term full load call it good ??

this is the latest on the 970 from evga

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487173

just mount the radiator and plug and play no mess no fuss

the 980 ti

this is now a evga only item and last I checked they said they had 8 left to sell ?? [980]
