What water block for my 7800gtx?
 

I have a 7800gtx video card that I want to run water on. Its the 256mb version. I want a block that will be future proof for the 512mb version and possibly the next gen. This means no huge DD block that cools ram as well.

So I was looking at the Maze4 and the MCW55. Which is better? Or is ther something better than those?

Also, I want memory heatsinks. Are the swiftech better than the OCZ? They look taller.....

I may be running the block at about -30c so it needs to be chiller friendly!

DD4

Well i think the plastic push-in connects won't work as well as metal barbs..... Might crack at -30C

I think you will need two OCZ like heatsinks that are lower in profile for the ram right under the barb connections

I got a 7800gtx too and I'm rather curious about the aquaxtreme mp-1 block. Any reviews on that?

Re: What water block for my 7800gtx?
 

looks almost identical to the Maze4.....I cant seem to find any reviews either

the internals resemble more the silverprop fusion gpu block since it's a pin design and I was curious how well that would work with the higher restriction.

Re: What water block for my 7800gtx?
 

silverprop fusion is not a pin design...

I guess I was mistaken. I though it was a pin design.

It is definately not the same as a maze4.

I'd go with the MP-01

AX MP-1 would be my first choice atm but thats only going by what i have heard, DD Maze4 is very reliable, i have an original aluminium top Peltier model on my ti4200 and its still going strong, i check it every 6 months and its not even oxidised with a weak antifreeze solution.
