Watercooling an 8800GTX

[Kunglao]

Is it possible to get a waterblock that fits on an 8800GTX? Oh, and if somehow I'm confused with watercooling and got it all wrong, please tell me.

I know that Dangerden has one. Go to their website to LEARN about watercooling

costs 135 dollars from what I remember

I guess I do know how to put a watercooling rig together...

From what I hear you can learn all you need to know about watercooling from that site.

Remember that aircoolers have advanced to the stage so that watercooling is only slightly better.

Swiftech Block

Swiftech makes some of the best stuff on the market... now it won't WC the RAM like the DD does but is about 1/3 the price lol.

That is why I am going peltier :twisted:

there are many options for cooling just the gpu such as the swiftech block or even the danger den maze 4.

for a full cover block, try the EK waterblocks, go to xtremesystems to check it out. great quality

For the money, I felt it was the best option.

Also gives you the best performance potential. Current generation cards are bottlenecked by the core clock, not by the memory clock. This means that increasing the core speed will give you more of a performance boost than a boost in memory clock, thus since you are focusing on cooling the core it gives you the most performance headroom for overclocking.

good choice. 😀

Unlike previous gen cards, the 8800 series needs to have other components cooled, not just the core.

For this reason, the danger den and koolance solutions, along with the upcoming Thermaltake ND4 willo be the watercooling blocks of choice for the 8800.

I tried the "one size fits all" blocks for vga with the mem heat spreaders, and it was worse than the stock cooler on my 8800 gtx.

Are those even compatible with 8800GTXs, that was one of the reasons why very few WC blocks or aftermarket air coolers were out for the 8800GTX till later is because none of the current ones were compatible.
