Water Cooling your video card

Tide Water at FrozenCPU

Thermal Take's Product page

Someone buy this and tell me how well it works.

Bump.

Think it fits a 6800GT? Their website doesn't say, and the summer heat is about to hit here. Would like to maintain my winter video card OC.

I just don't trust that thing. Mostly because, who the hell knows which outfit made its pump, and if it dies, you're screwed. IMO, if you're going to watercool, drop the coin to get a full system setup from known, reputable makers. Tt sure is known, but not known to be reputable all the time...

It should fit, it has a universal mounting system where you can slide the mounting screws to fit the holes.

Really? I've used their products in the past without problems. Granted, it wasn't a liquid cooling system. They do claim to have a pretty decent warranty though.

Bet ya it doesn't perform as well as my custom loop 😀

Maby some one should buy it to see how well it works (or sucks) 😛

Gonna order it momentarily, see how it works. If my experience with it is good, I may go wth a Tt case and one of their CPU water cooling kits when I do my next upgrade.

Edit - Actually, before I order it, I want to verify that it will be compatible on my current 6800GT and the X1900XT(X) that I plan to upgrade to later this year. I send their support department an email question, which their automated response claimed I would receive a reply within 7 to 10 business days. Kinda long time to answer an email, methinks.

The only negative I see is that it's 'suking' in the already 'warm' air from inside your case.

The air at the very bottom of the case should be the coolest there.

Hehe, looks like they're showing it running my mobo, Asus A7V8X 😉

Old skool 😎

Thermaltake has increased the quality of thier stuff, used to be I'd never recoomend them - bit still - thermaltake and water don't mix.

I had the Koolance waterblock for my 7800GTX and it worked great. I hit 521core and 1414mem at 45C full load. I think I needed more voltage to go higher for the temp was great. I am now putting two blocks on my two 7900GTX superclockeds. I hope to hit 710 and 1830. I am at 690 1760 stock so it should be doable plus I only have single slot coolers on the cards with the Koolance as opposed to the dualslot air heatsink monstrosities (and the evga stock heatsink is a monstrosity :laugh: )
