Just testing the water...

Well I was thinking around £350, I guess it depends how much that will get them when the new nvidia cards come out as well, whether the performance boost will be worth it for a short time?
 
Well I'd say maybe get a cheap VGA only block and make your 480 silet to wait for the next gen of cards.

For £350:
DDC pump with top
Res
CPU block (supreme HF)
GPU only block
240mm SR1

An that will all fit in your current case :)
 
Have a look for the AquagraFX 480 mate. I recently got 2 for my 480 SLi. I was sold on this manufacturing video! It's pretty much the best block out there for the 480 according to the SkinneeLabs roundup :)

Will the VRAM not be too hot on the graphics card?

Considering these 480s run hot as hell!

It's a £100 more, but definitely worth it in the long run!!

I'm sure it'll fit :p

Which spec, the latest one?
 
The one 3 posts up that you did.

Yeh ill make it fit, if it doesnt ill just have to fit the rad onto the outside of the case and run it inside, that would still work right?
 
How would I go about mounting a rad onto the outside of a case? Does the rad come with brackets?

Ill need to add come 90degree fittings to the order as well wont I to make that work.
