Hi All,
I am thinking of adventuring down the path to water cooling to extend the life of my rig a bit.

I want to upgrade my graphics card at the same time to two 6950 but I can't find any decent shops selling 6950 waterblocks.

Does anyone know what good waterblock makers do 6950 full cover blocks (do i even need full cover?) so i can google more efficiently as i know no-one will be able to link to a competitor (even though overclockers watercooling section is rather limited)
 
Thanks mate will take a look at that.

its a real shame that OCUK doesn't have just a bit more choice for watercooling, I usually buy everything from here out of loyalty but so far almost everything i have wanted for my new set-up is going to have to come from somewhere else :(

Yeah i have found some EK ones avaliable for the 6970 and i am pretty sure they fit 6950s.

bit worried that my watercooling set up is gonna cost me over at £1000 now that i want an Corsair 800D and two 6950s.

I will prolly need to go for two rads as well. ho hum all good fun.
 
Yeah i was just randomly browsing around and spotted it, now i have my heart set.

Really no need to replace my antec 1200 but its pretty and steel.
 
i have 2x hd 6870's i could not justify paying the money for full waterblocks although they look great i just used my GPU waterblocks EK and Danger Dens

simple GPU blocks but work very well
 
cools memory and vrm's
i just used the cooling heatsink off the air cooler then fitted the GPU block.

plus the advantages are you can use them on future cards the mounting holes have not changed on most cards for years
you cant do that with full blocks
