GPU water block
 

Does the flat water blocks take up any PCI ports?

Are there any diffrences in the blocks from diffrent vendors, are there some blocks that is better?

Are there any diffrence betwene the Geforce3 and Geforce4 when it comes to methodes to attache fans?

BTW: Does anybody know if the TI200 128MB versions have rams on bothe sides of the card?

Re: GPU water block
 

the method iteself is the same but the gf4s holes are a lil farther out from the gpu so a gf3 block wont work without a few mods

almost all graphics cards watercooling solutions will use up one pci slot, which is irrelevant, the first pci slot and agp slot share an irq, as any gamer will tell you.

of course some blocks are better than others, dden is the accepted standard.

I'm not sure about the mounting holes, haddy seems to know.

why buy a ti200 now, get an mx460 or ti4200

if anybody wants to buy me a 4600 ill gladly measure out the holes for u

The mounting holes on my leadtech 4600 are 79mm apart, center to center. I can't see exactly because of the massive factory heatsink, but I assume a line connecting the 2 holes would pass over the centre of the core, and the core would be mid way between the holes.

The first hole (coming from the connector end) is 69mm above the bottom of the pcb, and the second hole is 18mm above, measuring from the center of the holes once again.

There appears to be around 20mm of clearance between the edge of the core and the top of the agp slot (with the card in the mobo of course)

DD don't got a flat water block for Geforce3.

I have a TI200 and now I get a 128MB versions due to innsurance (lightning).

I would stay away from the MX card. It does okay but should be priced about the same as the ti4200 when it is for sale. The ti4200 looks to be a much better card. And it should OC way better, at least the reference desigin did in the reviews i read.

i should have a ti4400 in a day or so. ill let you know on the measurements.

BUT the cards to have the standard 4 holes around the chip like all others. the only difference is the additional 2 holes used for mounting the heatsinks is different. these are the holes that most water blocks use to mount.


here is a pic of the gainward ti4400 and a DD gf3 block that i took.

its a crappy pic but you can see all the holes

the ti4200 is much better obviously, but it might come out just a bit cheaper

how is the 4200 better than the 4400?

I was talking about it compared to an mx460

ooooh ok =)... i just bought a 4400 and freaked out cause i thought there was already a better card out for the $ hehe
