Opinions on this alternative WB for 9800GT

dustyshiv · Aug 27, 2010

Guys,

I have a Zotac 9800GT Green Edition Card

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500144&cm_re=zotac_9800gt-_-14-500-144-_-Product

The fan on this card makes terrible noise at 100% throttle during folding. So I wanted to find a suitable WB for this. I had a Koolance NB waterblock which was lying around unused. I managed to fit it on this card.

I will be using passive vga ram heatsinks to cool the memory chips. The VRMs were not cooled by the stock heat sink at all as the only thing in contact with the heatsink was the nvidia chip.

What do u guys think of this?

Cheers,
Shiv

Best of luck with the world first WC Green Edition

. Do you have a decent airflow in your case now when the RAM will lose the (little) cooling from the fan?

imo should work but running the tube would be painfull unless u can switch it angled one

I cant screw them in cos the spacing in between is tight and the barbs hit each other.

This would be the right one. Wht do u guys think?? Rotary!!

Expensive but good choice. I would also stick some passive heatsinks on the memory chips and vrm's, just to be safe
