First of all I want to say I'm a new in this forum so Hi to everybody :)

The thing is I started to think about water cooling my GTX 580 card,because when I'm playing some games the coolers start to spin so fast its very noisy.
1.My question is this water block suits my MSI GTX 580 TWIN FROZR II: http://www.ekwb.com/shop/blocks/vga-blocks/fc-geforce/5x0-gtx-series/ek-fc580-gtx-acetal.html or you have maybe better suggestions. I checked in this web page http://www.coolingconfigurator.com so I think its fits to my card.
2. Where else I could get those EK products, because I live in Ireland and ordering from EK web site it will take some time my products to arive. I know overclockers.co.uk sell ek products but they dont have 580 waterblock.Maybe you can write other sites with good products you are using yourselves :)
3. Can I use a single radiator for my GPU? Or I need double? :) Thank you for all your answers :)

That block will fit according to coolingconfig

A single will be ok, but I'd suggest you plonk the CPU in the loop and get a triple

We can't post competitor links ;)

Swiftech also confirm compatibility with their product:

so it looks like you'll be good to use any reference design waterblock.

If in doubt - contact OCUK - they've been brilliant help for me in the past.
