Video Card WC

[MotF Bane]

Looking at getting a heavily factory overclocked 8800GTX with the stock cooler, and then tossing together a liquid cooling loop, just for that video card. There will never be SLI, northbridge, or CPU. What's a good block for it, good pump, how big of a radiator... all trying to keep the price as low as possible?

Danger den's block is pretty good and beefy

NO!

If you get a block get this one so much better than the DD.

EK-FC8800GTX

Heres the difference.

The EK- Internals.

The DD- Internals.

The EK can dissipate allot more heat because it has some fins unlike the DD.

since you are just cooling a single gpu, a simple 120mm radiator and a pump like the db-1 should work just fine.

extreme's require a high velocity fan to have acceptable performance. This leads to loud noise.

I would pick a swiftech MCR120 if your on a budget, or get a PA120.1 If you can splurg a little.


The MCR120 will perform better then that BIX , with quieter yates attached.
