watercooling 7950

anyone think it will be possible to adapt some watercooling blocks to cool both cores on a 7950?is just that the bottom core doesnt have very good airflow and craves a bit of h2o

There are blocks out there, innovatek has one I believe, whether or not they're available yet is another matter.

The DD one will support a quad set up, using a short piece of tubing in-between as per the current SLI sets.

Not sure on the other brands but would have thought they would be similar.

If youre goign to put an innovatek block in your loop, you dont deserve to have a watercooled pc.

beast20vt · 6 Aug 2006 at 20:25

unimpressive performance, terribly restrictive, aluminium.

only plus side is, theyre dead cheap compared to american stuff. but i prefer eddy's ekwaterblocks stuff to dangerden anyway. too bad he hasnt finished the 7950 block we were planning over @ xtremesystems yet.

really, the only worthwile german blocks are the NexXxoS XP series for the CPU, and the Watercool GPU-X series on the GPU... and those are very, very good. bizarre that other blocks by the same companies arent worth bothering with, but *shrug*
