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 :rolleyes: so it'd be best of you posted some pictures of the inside of your case.

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?
