SixDemons · 12 Dec 2007 at 05:00

I have a MSI 8800 Ultra OC. because of the wheater in my country (damn hot) and the dust my video card is hiting high temps and I want to Water cooled.

I own a Thermaltake Bigwater cooling 735 ( http://thermaltakeusa.com/product/Liquid/DIY/cl-w0075/cl-w0075.asp ) only connected to my cpu.

Is my pump and radiator is going to be enough for cool my cpu and gpu at the same time?

the vga block that I want is this: http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?act=detail&tbcate=152&id=3246
on this link said that is 1/2, but in other stores said that also is for 3/8 tubing...

My spec:
Q6600 OC 3.0
MSI 8800 ultra OC @ stock
4gb OCZ reapers
TT toughpower 750w
Asus P5B deluxe
Coolermaster stacker case
Thermaltake bigwater 735

The pump will cope, but I doubt the radiator will. If the problem is dust, get a can of compressed air and blow the dust out, no?

replace your current rad with a 120.2 any mount it in the front - that would be enough to cool it.

what will happen if I leave the current radiator? overheat?

can some one advice me in some good radiator for the bottom part of the Coolermaster Stacker case?

I doubt it would be enough for it.

get rid of the thermaltake stuff, i had it in my Tai-Chi.

Now i have two water loops one for the cpu and one for the ultra.

I use 2 x DD12V-D5 Pump Variable Speed, 2 fillports, FluidXP, Black Ice GTX120 Radiator for the CPU and the Black Ice GTX240 for the GPU, Copper TDX Block for Intel 775 Processors, I was using the DD - 8800 GTX copper waterblock on my XFX ultra but that card was faulty so now i have the EVGA 8800Ultra Black pearl as they were out of the normal EVGA 8800ultra oc, as i wanted to use the DD GTX bloxk. All using 1/2" Tygon and now very low temps.

I found the small tubing that comes with the thermaltake is no where near as good as the 1/2" stuff.

But if costs are an issue and your happy with the ttake on the cpu just put a seperate loop in for the ultra like i have.
