ASUS 9800XT Waterblock?

[kingsack]

Does anyone out there have a waterblock installed on their ASUS 9800XT? I went to install a Maze 4 Tec block on one yesterday and discovered to my amazement that there weren't any mounting holes through the board! The stock HSF is nice but not exactly up to TEC Watercooling! I don't really want to AS Epoxy a water block to the GPU core on my $500 card!

Get artic silver 3 ceramic stuff.... its like liquid cement if you cant find mounting holes... i've never heard of a fan without mounting holes though. Sure you didnt miss them somewhere? =\

Yes, I'm sure I didn't miss them :disgust:.
The 2 fan heatsink with the integrated ram sinks installs
via 4 small holes in non-standard locations. As a result
there are no holes which can be used to mount the water block.

then use the ceramic artic silver shizzle... works like a charm. I've never seen a real live 98xt in person so i cant help you ;D
