Help! Need a video card maze block with top entry

KCComp · 06-14-2001, 09:33 PM

Closely examining my GeForce3, it's clear that a side-entry waterblock just isn't going to fit -- it won't clear the RAM heatsinks on two sides, the TV-Out daughtercard on the third (the remaining direction is the AGP slot). There isn't enough clearance for right-angle side-entry fittings either.

So I need a top-entry waterblock... preferably one I can order with fittings not installed so I can replace them with right-angle fittings (or better yet, one I can order with right-angle fittings).

I've only found one top-entry block so far, and it isn't a maze block, just a big empty square cavern with both fittings on the same side

Ideas?

thanks,

KC

Try a copper block to lift the waterblock up a bit?

Use the chipset cooler from dangerden if you want a small block w/ top entry (It will eat pci slots for breakfast in space though

Go for Dangerden and ask em for a Maze1 with elbow fittings. They're mounted on top and you'll lose only 1 PCI slot in the process.
