Help on DIY VGA block..

JAxen · 11-02-2006, 08:44 AM

Hello.

I dont know if this is to much to ask for but if there is anybody that can help me on doing a waterblock for my MSI NX6600GT card..
I dont know distance to mounting holes and such, dont know if I should go with a full cover block or just for the GPU.. And it cant be to thick either due I got a Shuttle so it can only be about 23-24mm thick..
Hope you guys can help me out a little bit..

Best regards, JAxen..

What does doing a waterblock mean....buying one or making one?

Mad bad..
I want to make it myself and I was hoping that I could get some help over here..

Why not use a bit of styrofoam as a template? Place foam where block should go, and punch through the mounting holes from the backside. You will end up with a piece of styrofoam that can show you exactly where the holes should be.

These dimensions are taken from an eVGA 6600GT
Measured by caliper. Hole diameter is 2.5mm

Well, it shows out that I cant mill this kinds of thing anymore :[
So if anyone of you know where I can get a waterblock for my MSI NX6600GT I'd appriciate a hotlink to that place

The thinnest block I can find with a quick google search is this:http://www.quietpcusa.com/acb/showde...D=277&CATID=13

20mm thick it says?

25.2mm is too big but you can trim 1mm off the acetal

Thanks a ton guys..
About Danger Den maze 4 block, I didnt see that it would fit an 6600.. Does it fit anyway?

jaydee · 11-18-2006, 07:20 PM

Probably fit but I think it is thicker than 24mm. Maybe not...

JAxen · 11-18-2006, 07:56 PM

Yeah but that is no problem if its about 1mm too thick.. Aslong as the mounting holes fit..
