8800 GT water cooling? Memory?

Bikerz · 10 Nov 2007 at 22:19

Ok ive decided on my water cooling kit, but need a block to cool my 8800 GT any advice?

Do I need to use heatsinks on the ram(on the 8800GT)with it? Use a full coverage block? or can I get away with just a gpu block?

Any point cooling my memory if its only OCZ PC-6400 stuff at 800mhz?

Do you need to water cool a NB on a ASUS P5KC mobo?

The RAM doesn't need anything on them, and a dedicated core block will give better temperatures.

Most people use RAM sinks for piece of mind only.

Cheers

Any advice on what GPU block for it as they new cards?

Lust leave NB with thet heatsink they come with?

The Dtek Fuzion block fits it and I suspect the Maze 5 will.

You can leave the NB with the stock cooler, unless you're going for extreme overclocking.

Nope just graphics and cpu overclock for min nothing too extreme.

How much tubing do you think il need in a antec 900 case cpu and gpu to be cooled top mounted 120. rad and res

go for 10 foot to be sure. You'll not use it all but its always handy to have some spare

Ive been informed that a 18 W DDC5 pump is far from silent. Can anyone recoment a silent one?

jabski · 11 Nov 2007 at 08:32

The D5's are quieter than a DDC. Pick up a D5 variable and turn it down.

Bikerz · 11 Nov 2007 at 09:21

Cheers, will get that then. Unless anyone wants to surgest anything else.

Can anyone recoment a res, preferably large and a bay one, needs 1/2" barbs

Is this all ok and good idea?

weescott · 12 Nov 2007 at 22:12

Looks good. The Thermochill shrouds don't do much. Not worth it at all IMO.

Bikerz · 12 Nov 2007 at 22:15

Can you mount fans straight onto rad?

I fitted a Swiftech MCW60R (from OcUK) and the temps dropped from 64c to 39c idle and 87c to 50c load. I suspect my stock fan wasn't mounted very well though
