Hi,

I currently have a setup with a Barton 2500+@3200+, and a Geforce 4600 watercooled using a (really) big(as in being 50cmx120cm) radiator without any fans. This has been working great, but now im getting a 20" TFT and my geforce card is rumored to handle 1600x1200 over DVI poorly, and besides it can hardly handle never games at 1600x1200

I was considering buying a 6800GT and clocking it at Ultra speeds, but i frankly think that the Dangerden block is far too expensive. I already have a Dangerden GPU cooler( the one show in the center of http://www.dangerden.com/images/product_index2.gif ) and i was wondering if anyone knew whether or not its possible to mount safely on a 6800?
There isnt too much airflow in my case(the only fans are the PSU), but on the other hand all heat generated from GPU and CPU is transferred using water. From reading threads in this forum i gather that it is then safe to leave the RAM uncooled?

Thanks for any feedback.
