watercooling a GPU? Single-closed system? Or build an entire water cooling setup?

[ViviTheMage]

I was going to pick up a CORSAIR CWCH50-1 High Performance CPU Cooler for my i5 2500k, and was wondering .. do they make closed systems for GPU's?
Specifically a 460GTX, or a 5xx series card?

EDIT : It doesn't seem to exist ... so what would be a good system to build from the ground up? I have never done water cooling but always have wanted to...within a $200-$300 budget for GPU/CPU and maybe NB on my i5 2500k setup?

gpu watercooling has not taken off yet with no gpu pump block.

If you want something simular, a swiftech rad drive could do it with a gpu block.

But it will be around 130 for the rad drive, and another 100 for a gpu block.

oooft, bit pricey then .. $230 just to water cool the CPU.

I just found the H70, i'll be getting that, cools MUCH better then the H50.

mmm..

problem is the gpu block... unless your going core only, those require a ton of copper.

Also the inital core in hardware...

But this is a rad pump.. oh its 70 dollars.

And it even has a bleed hole so you dont need a res.
Fill, bleed, fill more, bleed more... and then cap up.

so maybe I should not buy the H70 (changed my mind from H50 to H70) and just build a REAL watercoooling setup? What would I need/cost/maint to cool an i5 2500k, 460GTX, NB/SB?

Should tell u basics, however things have changed, so you can just use a intigrated radiator pump if space is limited.

Or you can go full bling and the sky is the limit.

Also watercooling the board usually also means another major price hike... because those are full board blocks... and well full board blocks looks like this:

Which turn your board into this:

And it gets pricey there also... :whiste:

If I just did CPU + 2 GPU's ... i'd be looking at $400-$500

I think i'll skip watercooling the GPU's, and just keep the H70, it's been working pretty damn good so far.

stickies are no fun
