i was fed up with the high temps my xfx 8800gtx so decided to splash out and add it to my water loop. temps at the moment are 65c on idle on load ive seen it hit 90c so something had to be done! heres the block.....

Looking good, good luck with the setup.

How quiet do you find your setup compared to conventional air cool with similar hardware?

I am asking as I've been reading that not unless you buy quality gear this results in more noise i.e. acrylic/copper rather than all copper for example.
 
well i havent had this setup long but the difference is massive, this set up is so quiet and the cpu temps before on Scythe Infinity heatsink @ 1.5 were very high around 44c idle and 75+ on load using tat @3400mhz. now i have the voltage at 1.58 (real) temps are 35c-38c ldle 53-56 full load @3600mhz (need a lot of volt for this chip).
over all very happy with the results, im just hopeing the ek block does not restrict water flow to much or knock my cpu temps up.

Is that another stealth purchase then? :D :D
 
That block is a work of art.

At the moment I have rad,pump and res already for my second loop. This is for an R600 but my patience is getting thin and everytime I see this block it tempts me to get my card out and order one with a 8800gtx.

Have heard of a few people having problems fitting it - whats your opinion?
 
yeah went on easy enough, time spent moving resevoir and changing pipe lengths to fit it!! just got it going and dropped 30 degrees straight off!
 
looks good mate

what temps was it running at before on load then?


and does that mean the card will clock further?
 
im hopeing the card will overclock better doing some testing at the moment! got her up to 700mhz on the core so far........ left out the memory for the time being.
