Liquid Cooled GPU

[Bl4d3]

hey all,

can anybody recommend a gpu cooling block for an 8800 GTX/GTS (preferably the GTS).

I believe Dangerden has the only one on the market.

If you havent bought the card yet, BFGtech.com offers a watercooling 800gtx for I thinkg 700. Plus it comes with a true lifetime warrenty.

http://www.dangerden.com/store/product.php?productid=257&cat=48&page=1 for the waterblock. Not 100% if it will work with the GTS.

http://bfgtech.com/8800GTX_768_PCIe_wc.html BFGtech's watercooled version.

The koolance ones look ok but they are 3/8" ID connections...

To OP: most DIY is 1/2" so you may have to use reducers if you choose them.

 

[Bl4d3]

well maybe that would speed up the circulation possibly to do a 1/2 to a 3/8??

 

[waylander]

Water flow is an important part of the system... based on both the available flow area and flow velocity, the more you restrict the system by introducing more water blocks or smaller tubing the harder the pump has to work.

No.. 1/2 is larger than 3/8.. water would have to move faster for the same volume to pass over a given time. However, that means resistance increases dramatically.. definitely not good if you've got multiple items in the loop - CPU block, chipset block, GPU block, radiator...
