DangerDen GeForce4 GPU Block

Divided · 06-17-2002, 02:46 PM

Any had any experience with it yet?

I'm 'stuck' in GeForce3 land but this new block has mounting holes for the GF3.

Or perhaps not worth it?

Also -- anyone put up their GF3 Ti500 OC numbers? I cant find a good database that has any results.

It looks pretty! Thought about getting one to match my clear top MAZE3, but that would be purely aesthetic. You can check my sig for my Ti200 numbers. Should give you a place to start with your Ti 500. Mine crashes at 266/501.

LOL i saw that the other day, and i just thought how dumb it was to have a clear top... do you stick your head under your graphics card to look at the water in the block??? seriously, i cant even see my heatsink on my gpu from were i sit...

I agree. Aestheticly I can understand it on a maze 3 but why on a GPU block? I guess if you had a mirror on the bottom of your case and no PCI cards installed it might be kind of cool. I just bought one of those 4" UV cold cathodes so I can see the coolant run through my maze 3

actually a dude at overclockers.com forums did that to his geforce 3 or 2, he made his heatsinks and fan glow under UV and he put a mirror under it so you can see it...

The one thing I do like about the block is the barbs, their 40° instead of 90° which would be quite abit easier on the flow. I wonder if DD will offer it in a copper top? If they did I think that block would own

45° elbows are not uncommon. McMaster sells them for a few bucks and they could easily be added to any waterblock.
