To words that shouldnt come out my mouth again "water cooling"

Been toying with the idea of going back to it "if" its benifical to performance.

I have a gigabyte gts450 graphics card.

I know they dont make a block specific for this card, so im going to guess i need a universal block?
If that is the case, what sort of block would people recommend?

don't think anyone ever made one......its a low end card hardly worth the hassle as you'll be lucky to get much more out of it chance what you cool it with mate.

The 1GB cards can be picked up new for around £60......any half decent block would cost that......thats £120 spend...

This:

Would absolutely BATTER any GTS 450 performance wise AT LEAST 5 times over.

Just seems hot to me, considering ive never really passed 40 - 45c, i think that says its had a easy life up to now.. thats what i get for dropping off the gaming wagon.

edit:
So these will defo take some hammer before i need to get concerned?
