Small Bore Cooling

[WoZZeR]

Hello Chaps, I've now got 2 GFX cards in my PC (Shuttle SD37P2) and they came with small bore water coolers and the ATI software already reports 66-67 degrees after an hour or 2 on maxed out Oblivion. I can't change the blocks on the GFX cards as there is only a 22mm gap between the 2 cards.

I was thinking about a block for the CPU and Northbridge with the same bore then maybe attaching a copper pipe round the GFX RAM with some sort of conductive glue.

Hate to trouble chaps, but anyone advise on these small bore systems. I'd like to keep overall size down if possible it is a small pc afterall.

Adding more blocks to a loop will only degrade the cooling performance. 67c is really nothing to worry about with graphics cards tbh. If your CPU temp is fine then I would leave it as it is.

Nice to know 66 degrees is OK.

I was thinking of replacing the 2 separate GFX coolers (Sapphire Toxic GFX Coolers) with one system to cool the entire PC. At the moment the 2 coolers have to be bluetacked into place on top of the case.
