UPDATE: New rebate, deal ends 2/6/13

ZALMAN LQ-310 Water Cooler
$64.99 with free shipping
-$35 rebate (exp.1/2)
-$35 rebate (exp.02/06/2013)
=$29.99

This is probably made by Asetek, but I don't have proof. :hmm: Asetek is one of the two bigger OEMs for these all-in-one liquid coolers. Performance should be similar to any of the lower end offerings from other brands, such as Antec Kuhler 620, Corsair H50/H55. Looks as if it will be compatible with this $6 bracket that will make it into a liquid cooler for any recent high end graphics card. Those of you who got in on the recent $200 GTX 660 Ti or $280-305 GTX 670 can make your card liquid cooled for $36.

Would you need to put heatsinks on any of the other components if you were going this route on a GTX 570?

Thanks for the heads-up, mshan. OP updated.

Xtrem, it depends. Does your card do any active cooling (AKA heatsinks) of other components? I'm not super familiar with the GTX 570 (had 470, 560 Ti, 660 Ti, 670 but never 570) but if it does have heatsinks, either keep them on there (if separate from GPU heatsink) or put aftermarket BGA heatsinks on there.

One thing you can do is to get the fan bracket for $8 (a mere $2 more) which is the original bracket with an extension that holds any 92mm fan. There are also plenty of BGA heatsinks on the market often sold in kits of 8.
