watercooling for GPU?

watercooling for GPU Help and Advice Needed.

hi my temps when playing crysis have been hitting 100c -102c which is far too hot for a 8800 GTX and eventually will kill my card im sure. i have a decent coolermaster case with one fan at the back and a fan at the top with a small system cooler fan underneath the GTX. still not happy with my temps though.at the moment idle is 63c which is ok i suppose but when i play games it rockets to 85-100c so ive been thinking about watercooling the GTX are there any good cheapish water cooling kits on overclockers that are recommened? i dont wont to be paying £100 plus mind you. or will the Thermalright HR-03-PLUS be good enough and do i need to buy a fan to go with this?.

Does seem hot to me. I'm sure you could improve that without spending too much.

I think you could do with a fan at the front of the case blowing in cool air as it sounds to me like the flow in your case may be all wrong.

I also may be wrong so it'd be best of you posted some pictures of the inside of your case.

That thermalright will do fine

From the description you describe with reference to your high G/C temps It could be caused to not having enough air flow moving through the case. Which cooler master case do you have?
