Hi all,
Just looking for some advice over what block to use for an old AGP 7800GS+ 512Mb Gainward card. I haven't quite got round to ripping the heatsink off yet (as the PC is still be used on aircooling for a little longer).
I gather people had lots of problems getting the bridge chip (AGP-PCIe) cooled when the card first came out. I contacted Danger Den about whether their old full coverage block (7800 - non-SLI) would work with the card... They wanted details of the chip and hole spacing (which I can't provide yet). NB they don't even list their old 7800 block (on the DangerDen website) but you can still buy it.
Just wondering whether I can get a stock full-coverage block that would do the bridge chip somewhere for a 3/4" I/D loop? .... Or do I have to use generic block (Maze 5) and something like the mini-cooler blocks that Alphacool produce?
Sorry I've only built up one watercooled rig before so I am still total newbie at this!! (I must confess to even being a virgin GPU BIOS flasher - but I have flashed DVD drives to make them region free )
Thanks if anyone can help in between rewiring your graphics cards!!
