Water block for NV GPU

[Nemesis 1]

If this guy made a ATI water block like this one . I would have to have it.

Ya . It has to be restrictive probabaly needs its own loop . Since more and more people are going multi loop its OK.

Does it perform well? Unknown. Is it eye candy ? Yes.

If any of you guys know anything at all about these . Info would be nice to have.

With reverse mount M/B this thing would be a conversation piece.

I'll give you that it's pretty bitchin eye candy but, I have to really doubt the performance of the GPU block. No fins and very small and restrictive. Granted the video card doesn't really get much better overclocks from increased cooling beyond a point so it may very well work as well as any other full cover VGA block but, with the GPU block as restrictive as it is I certainly wouldn't want it on the same loop as my CPU.

everyone on XS is trying to dig it up right now. Yes its very bling and it doesnt look too restrictive because its paralell config. notice how most of the tubes are = length.

But the barb section would unequal it, and cause shorter waterways to get more water.


So far the only thing we think is its called the octopus. :T

Edit blah that post says octopus...

I went over to XS couldn't find thread. Since I won't go into the watercooling section . Because of all the Spam . I didn't look there.

DAM it man . I wish you would have given a link. I waited till now . But I couldn't stop myself. So I went into watercooling section. Couldn't find thread. But spied this instead.

I get so angry sometimes it just makes me want to explode.


Orings on BSPP or any other fitting that uses orings are application specific!!!!!.

The Ghost fitting as shown could be the wrong O-Ring. Or it could be the right one!!!.

If you look at Post 10. Nikhub1 shows a proper channel(SEAT) for this type of Oring. The problem is it could also be wrong. What if The Block designer actually put the Channel (seat) in the water block. Which is the more common usage and is considered the correct method.

So how could the fitting in post 10 be wrong? If the block seat was recessed as is normal in the REAL WORLD for this type O-ring. If you used a recessed fitting on a recessed block you won't get a good seal because the 2 recessed areas would tighten against each other without putting enough pressure on the O-Ring to seal it.

Than of course their ARE o-rings for BSPP fittings that don't require any Channels. These are very common. and require 1 less machining operation. These are captive o-rings. These Orings use steal and rubber(VITRON) The steal keeps the O-Ring seated. So no recessed seats required. . Biggest thing with oring seals is using the right o-ring for the right application.

The most common mistake in real world with O-rings is over torguing them. Now n the PC world there seems to be a lot of problems with correct fitting seal combinations.

Come on guys. This stuff is exactly the same as your hardware and software. Its application specific in many cases.

I couldnt agree with you more on this statement. And this is why i always get into fights with other members.

Need to know what applicaiton you intend to run something on b4 recomendations on anything can come out.
