Water Block for GTX 260
- Thread starter Greebo
- Start date
Tracked it down - looks like you bought a 'fuzion gpu waterblock' from Bikerz.
From a quick scan on the net it looks like it has a removable plate. I'll have another closer look but i'd imagine you could get a compatible plate.

EDIT: Looks like you'll need the GT200 bracket for it to work - shown HERE.

Cheers. Being looking at that as I can;t find a D-tek kit. Do you reckon it will fit/work since its for a Swiftech block?
I think a lot of these manufacturers tend to put their names on very similar (mostly identical) designs - think Laing and Swifteck pumps.
I'd say it probably does - but for the sake of a mix up i'd double check the block this evening to see.

I'd also contact the original manufacturer too.
If they're anything like other cooling companies i've used (scythe and thermalright particularly) then you may even get them to send you one for a small charge or possibly even free!

That plate is for the Swiftech gpu block and it will not fit the Dtek fusion V2
block without some modification. Also it does not come with a separate backplate, which is not a problem if you utilise the stock backplate on the gtx260 card, but is a problem if you don't want to re-use that in order to put your own ramsinks on the backside ram chips, like the guy on the Hard forum.
Looks like you may have the V1 dtek fusion block but I would hazard a guess that the swiftech plate is not going to fit that either. It is fairly easily modded though, check this thread about half way down http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17981655 ,this was with a gtx280 using the swiftech gt200 plate modded to for the fusion v2. Its just a matter of filing it down. I made my own custom backplate so I could use ram sinks on the back.
Cool - good info Bubo, cheers!
I wondered if there might be a possible issue - even though the plates did look almost identical:
But like you say it looks like it could be used if modded a little.

At the end of the day, the top plate and back plate are just two bits of metal whose job it is to impart a force between the periphery of the gpu block and the back of the card via the four screws. If you know the hole sizes and dimensions you could easily make both if you are any good at metal work, there is nothing special about the official plates really. One thing to make sure though if making your own backplate, make it so that there is a block of rubber or similar in the middle of the plate, the same size as the block. Doing this you will ensure the screw forces are concentrated directly either side of the gpu chip like a sandwich, and as such no load is taken by the circuit board around the four screw holes, assuming they pass through the holes freeyly enough. The swiftech GT200 plate does come with suitable bolts and thumbscrews.
