I like the foam blocks to hold up the heatsink so it doesn't break the card in half.

Now the real trick would be going multi-gpu.

You can tell from this picture that the thought was already there.

Very interesting. Of course, long before that I strapped a ThermalTake Big Typhoon onto my X1800XL, so it only seems natural, given the high thermal load current CPU coolers can handle.

That said, that's one awesome picture, without a doubt. Makes me want to put my Noctua NH-C14 on my 6950 2GB.

Hmmm...got a thermalright 2900XT cooler, which has the same 45 degree twist to the chip. Wife is home on vacation...could be an interesting project, except I already got real water on my "play" HD6950.

Thanks very much for the link, really!

Perhaps that case is so special that noise is not a concern, but it would add to the coolness.
If I watercool the 6970's, I would change the top chipset block out for a 45 rotary and bring the loop to the cards next, then bring it out the bottom to the rad underneath.

Lame... still not viewing it right.. If it's a tech site, the boss should be thankful he/she has someone that can fix a mess instead of spend $100's on someone to do it for ya..


I have mine open all day at work. while the boss walks threw the office.


Nice flow of colors Rep
Looking good

This is what I came up with, still needs a bit more cable management here and there.

I had to add a 120mm fan at the bottom to cool the HDD's since the provided 140mm fan isn't moving enough air and I don't have any other to change it ( can anyone recommend a good 140mm fan that is quiet and moves a lot of air? )
