video card waterblock

black_baron · 08-05-2002, 02:43 PM

Greetings,

I'm trying to finish up my latest & greatest watercooling project, and I wanna cool the video cards (plural, there are two), but I can't find any waterblocks that cool both the GPU and the ram. I think this is because of the ram/gpu position variances which would make it impossible to make a generic one (I think). Anyway, if anyone can help, I'm facing down a visiontek geforce3 and a voodoo3 pci.

is there any hope or should I go to the drawing boards and try and make my own?

cooling the ram is overkill unless using a peltier and voltagemod on it.

overkill depends on what you plan on doing, I plan on mounting the radiator external to the case and eliminating all fans but the two 120's that'll cool the radiator, so as you can imagine, it will most likely get pretty warm in there...

I've devised/located/bought cooling hardware for every other heat source except the GPUs & ram.

But anyway, I don't care if it's overkill, I'm doing it, but I can't find all the parts to round it out...
