Old version of Waterchill compatible with X1950PRO?

[Brwmogazos]

Hello guys i have the waterchill, and its the very first version.

So no antarctica blocks etc.

It has the L2O pump and vga block, the one look alike with the northbridge block but with the 360 degree turn barbs.

Is that block compatible with the X1950 pro?

Its not this one

But it looks like this one

However, it has only 2 holes...from each side of the block so 4 in total.its not adjustable like the northbridge block etc.


Here is a bad pic of it....



Please let me know whether i should be able to install the block or not...i dont want to ruin my new card you see...

anyone?

The X1600/X1800/X1900 series cards use a 4 hole mounting, the two holes won't line up.

The Waterchill support site is rubbish, DD pdf below shows the differences.

So its a no go then right?

I was wondering whether the 2 holes of the block and the card would line up...

I have to buy a graphics card cooler now then and run it with air cooling...

ANy suggestions?

I cant get hold of the Accelero arround here...think thermaltake has a look alike...


any ideas?

The last air VGA I bought was an artic cooling one for my 9800pro about 4 years ago.

Zalman 900 heatpipe ones were very good, not sure if any other of the current ones are better.

Have you ruled out a replacement water block?

What do you mean by that?

Buy a new waterblock compatible with the 1950 pro?

i had a quick look and i cant find any blocks arround here from asetek.The only way is to order a new one from abroad...
