OcUK fit cooler for me?

I appear to have derped :D

Just curious, what are the parts needed to get a watercooled 7990 working (the one OcUK sells)?

watercooled, a specific 7990 full cover block, then all the parts you'd need for a normal system. I would think a single 120mm rad would be, not particularly effective against a 7990, I wouldn't buy less than a 240mm rad but frankly I'd go 360 for 2 high end gpu's. The easiest way would be to buy one of the EK kit's along the line of

then buy the full cover block. Obviously you can save money, ignore the CPU and go with a 240mm rad and as cheap a pump as possible. But in the long run a slightly better pump/rad will last you into future systems, and if you're watercooling anyway you may as well go CPU as adding the waterblock and then putting £10-20 extra into the radiator is worthwhile.

this is the cheapest 7990 block they do, the cheapest in stock is £20 more than that. Not massively cheap to watercool, but maybe worth it in the end?

Worth googling to see if anyone has used two AIO cooler kits for a single 7990. Not sure how much these accelero coolers are, nor if the mountings around each core would enable you to fit them to the card.

Thanks for your reply, seems rather pricey but will definitely be on a future christmas list ;)

Also what do you recommend one does with such a huge radiator that can't possibly fit in the case??

Tell us what case you have and someone maybe able to recommend a rad that can fit inside it...


As long it not some kind of very small case..

It's harder to setup a watercooling rig then it is to switch out a GPU cooler. I suggest you watch youtube videos on it until you feel comfortable.

Also, if you go for MSI or Sapphire from OCUK, the warranty isn't voided by taking it apart. As long as, if something ever goes wrong, you put it all back together again before sending it off.

Does this also cover fitting an air cooler for the 2 year Sapphire warranty period? Thanks
