Well since my GFTi 4200 bit the dust for no apprent reason I guess I'll be getting a Radeon shortly. That means I need a way to watercool it.

Leadtek was nice enough to cover their entire GF card in an alumium heatspreader. All I needed to do was watercool the spreader and my RAM was easy to overclock.

I'd like to do the same thing with my new card. Basically machine a plate that gets all 8 RAM chips on a Radeon out of cheap and easy to work with Alumium. Then solder a simple copper block to the top and bottom to carry away the heat.

Has anyone done this? Any idea how well it would perform?
