voodoothenoob Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 put a koolance gpu block (Koolance GPU-180-L06 180W Video Chipset Cooler) on my 9800xt. very ez and was done in under 1 hour including 10 minute leak test. 3dmark03 results r: [url]http://discuss.futuremark.com/forum/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=mo3dmark03&Number=3555914&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=0&fpart=1[/url] check my sig on link temps were 62 on air at idle room temp about 70 48 with block at idle dont know temps under load but put a decent overclock on card with no issues cpu at 29 idle and 32 load got a decent overclock on p4 3.2 (fsb 222) my ram dont like anything higher than 225, point is that it is no problem and works well, too bad corsair couldnt come up with a block sooner :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see the HC can easily do this. :D: Sad that the Corsair GPU is lagging on getting here. :[pouts: I hope that the Corsair GPU blocks either performs the same or even better. But it will be hard to say at this time. ;): Stev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reply and add an attachment with the pictures. :biggrin: I would love to see how it went together and any comments about tubing lenght, clamps and hardware needed to do this. Did you use the extra clamps from the HC spare parts bag or what? ;): Your on the cutting edge ! :D: Stev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegasjef Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 So one of two things is happening. You're either cooling the GPU with warm water from the CPU block, or cooling the CPU with warm water from GPU block. No thanks, good luck with it though.

No thanks, good luck with it though.[/QUOTE] What other way is there other than placing everything in parallel or running a separate HC just for the GPU? :sigh!: The HC can cool 200W. So, the hottest AMD Barton or the hottest Intel Northwood are all under 82W in heat. The GPU should be the first in the cooling sequence for a serial path cooling solution. :cool: Many, if not, most water-cooling OC'ers do it this way. :cool: Stev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/QUOTE] Way cool. :sunglasse I'll look forward to seeing them. Get a good close-up and a good side profile showing how all the tubing runs inside the case. :biggrin: I had just seen some LAN party pictures from Cincinnati that shows a HydroCool setup. The computer case is awesome as well. :D: Stev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegasjef Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 yeah, going parallel would be worse I suppose. Cut down on flow too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolance has another block that puts the fittings flush with the sides. This way you don't loose any PCI slots in the case. :o: Or you didn't have a choice since the fittings were a different size ... :(: Otherwise, a really nice job. And no, it doesn't look to messy. :biggrin: The tubing looks great, no bubbles. :cool: Stev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
