Im going water cooled to see what OC my machine can do. I have everything apart from gpu waterblock.
Im looking for a waterblock that will cool the memory to if possible. The Dangerden looks very good but the cost :eek:
Any ideas
Thanks
Sorry wrong forum cant see how to move it

From what I've heard having a waterblock that cools the ram as well isn't much more effective then some nice copper ramsinks plus it increases the inline water temp.
As for the block I would go with a DD maze 4 GPU acetal or copper model.

the danger den nv-68 is insane! i got one. it seems to work pretty damn good, as i can get the memory up to 1.16 from the stock 1.0 ghz. card is totally stock too, no voltage or BIOS mods...yet...

Since I was doing an SLI set-up I was on the hook for two blocks. I decided to do it on the cheap and get the Koolance VID-NV2-L06 (http://www.koolance.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=29_46&products_id=174) and I figured it would work well with the Exos I have. Just put them on yesterday and the early results are in. The temps are way down and I'm up 21 on the core but no gain on the memory. Bah! Maybe I should have gone for different blocks and just slapped some heatsinks on the memory. The GPU block is okay but I could have gotten the GPU-180-L06 (http://www.koolance.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=29_46&products_id=104) and still had more $ in my pocket. Oh well, they look pretty cool. :rolleyes:
Still have to do the bios mod and see if they'll take 1.4v well.

Equito and Mdzcpa have them I think. Probably more results to be found by searching...

swifty mcw50 is very effective also...first one on the market I think, which is why I got it. Nice copper block.
Don't think the DDR3 really benefits from watercooling...my v-ram does 1.30 hot or not, and no reason to add more heat into the loop if you dont have to. :)

just cool the core ....core+ram blocks will just impede flow in the loop.
ramsinks are all that is needed.
