Can some one recommend a GPU water block for a BFG8800GTS OC2 320mb. Just tried a bit of overclcoking on it and it seems to be a great clocker. Got 670 on the core with out much effort before temps got too high and 2000 on the memory. Was hitting about 90c before I stopped stressing it but recon it will go a bit faster still.
Would you recommend a full cover as they seem to be coming down a lot in price what with the new GT being what every one wants or is a block better with some RAM sinks? Who does good RAM sinks?
 
Bump

So far looking at
D-Tek Fuzion Universal VGA Block
DangerDen Maze 5
Swiftech MCW60R
With some Zalman ZM-RHS1 RAM Heatsinks
Any major difference in performance between these? Pretty much all the same price.
Any feed back on how much they have dropped temps or not appreciated.
 
My first choice would have been a full cover block but after doing a bit of searching for reviews the only one I found showed that the lone block out performed out performed a full cover Danger Den buy about 10C on load.
Considering the DD was triple the price I’m moving more towards the GPU cover only blocks now. Just worried as to how hot the memory actually gets and if a full cover is necessary?
 
Thanks guys. You all posted while I was writing my last post.
I'll Go for the D-Tek Fuzion. I take it they are more universal with the old and new style of chips sizes than the full covers?
 
I’m getting close to hitting the checkout button now but I’m still a bit concerned about how hot the memory on these cards actually gets.

Reason being is memory standard is 850 on this card and I went straight in at 1000mhz with out artefacts, so taking into account I will push it as far as I can how hot will it get and will passive cooling on the ram be enough?

Got this card second hand and not sure if its been modded in any way but I haven’t found any clock limits on it yet just worrying temperature issues.
