Geforce Waterblock

mhayenga · 05-31-2002, 11:48 PM

Well, I was planning on getting dtek's geforce waterblock. Then I read that they were going to be made for GF3s and GF4s, with no mention of GF2s. So, I was wondering if anyone here knows if/how the mounting holes changed between the gf2 reference and the gf3 reference. I've been searching, but have been coming up empty...

Thanks

GF2 and GF3 holes are all the same, infact I think all the way back to TNT2 is the same. Just beware you may possibly have clearance problems

cool, thanks man... And yeah, I wont have to worry about clearance... only using 2 of the 5 pci below the agp

I think he's refering to clearance around the GPU

has the d-tek gpu block have better flow than the DD block...beware this will raise your cpu temps...at lest it did in my setup 3c infact.gggggrrrrrr at temp increase

mhayenga · 06-03-2002, 11:14 AM

I bet they affect flow about the same way... Maybe with dtek's doing a little better at maintaining flow.. Dtek's has a 'U' milled, which should be somewhat better for flow than one that uses 90 degree angles. I've never seen the inside of DD's block, but it looks like there would be 2 90s in there.

yes but they still have the 90 deg brass fittings to

yeah, I know.. but hey.. 2 less ain't that bad...

Both

DangerDen's

and

Dtek's

GeForce waterblocks look like they have 90Deg bends. Is there more to it than how it looks? I'm a fellow WCing newbie

Has anyone seen benchmarks between these or other GeForce waterblocks (flow and delta) as well as the spir@l and Maze3?

A little OT but are Gainward GF3Ti200 boards based on reference or if there's a site that shows which boards are known ref and/or modded.

almost all gainward cards (including ti200) are based on the ref design
