How many Water Blocks should I have?
I have a Water Block for My CPU and a pump, plus most of the fittings that I need, That and I have 2-Zalman heatsinks, One on My NB and One on My SB that and a Fan Glued on to My GF4 (Glued there by Visiontech, boo, hisss, boo).

I plan on using an 80mm to 120mm adapter to attach the MaxXxpert Rad to one of the two rear 80mm openings on My New (To Me at least) Black Chieftec DX-01BD case.

Danger Den Fan Shrouds (3/4" thick x 120mm square).

<Back-of-Case/SF2-80mm(or-Tornado?)-fan/80mm-120mm-adapter/MaxXxpert-Rad/DangerDen-Shroud1/DangerDen-Shroud2/120mm-Sunon 108cfm Fan<air-flow<

Hopefully that will do, As I just wanted to find out, Do I need a water block for the NB, SB and GF4?

If I were u I would get waterblocks for NB and GFX. SB is a bit hard to watercool since there are no holes to attach the waterblock, and atleast I wouldnt use glue to fasten a WB.

The SB on the 8RDA+ has holes, Epox put them there.

How do you get that hs/f off of the visionteck ti cards anyway. I was wondering that.

I found this on Hardware Acelerated and this is what You and I need to do:
If your old GPU heatsink is epoxied on, I suggest putting your graphics card in the freezer for a while, then using dental floss or another strong thread or wire to slowly cut through the epoxy - just ripping it off is likely to damage your gpu, and kill your card.

Now as to How long, I'd try overnight and Use a Freezer Bag or storage Bag (Not the Type with holes in the sides though) to protect the card from dirt and debris, Regardless If any exists or not that is, You can leave the bag open though. I hope this will help as I have to do this too when I get all the water cooling parts that I need.
