just bought a coolit systems domino a.l.c for £60 del off ebay and now i want something for my Grfx card. Is there a simple kit that can do this?

Thanks in advance!
 
not sure how well that system will do with another block on the system and the one for the gfx will make a lot of heat for it to vent off but I would get a full cover block for the card which covers the gpu and memory as the ones that cover just the gpu are not so good but your be paying 50 - 80 pound for a block.

the EK-FC4870 4870 is a good cheap block

all you have two do is get barbs the same size as the hose your using plus some more hose and you should be able to link it up
I'd go CPU - GFX - then back to system as cpu will have less heat and gfx card can take more heat.

Again search around and see if anyone one else has expanded your domino and see how it handles before jumping in.

You are hopefully aware that the coolit domino cannot have further blocks added to it. You may not want to be aware that the cheaper thermalright true or noctua coolers beat it on temperatures, especially with hot chips. What processor have you put it on?

You cannot get something analogous to the domino kit for a graphics card. The closest you could come is getting one of the kits designed to cool your cpu, and adding the graphics block (and possibly another radiator) to that loop. This will make the coolit domino look like an unwise purchase.

Water cooling is best done from components, much as assembling a computer is best done from components.
