Chilly1 unit cooling 7800GTX?

[Danger30Q]

I've been in contact w/ chilly1 about his chilly1 unit. He says it can cool the VGA as well as the CPU. My question to you all is phase change cooling the VGA worth it? I know it's overkill with a 7800GTX but if I'm going to be cooling the CPU and it doesn't take away CPU cooling performance, then why not cool the VGA. Are there any cold bug issues I should worry about? Please respond, especially if you are using vapor phase change on your VGA. Thanks all.

Gains on vapor for vga's can be quite big as you can give the card quite a lot of voltage.

I've got a chilly1 kit unit GPU cooler (w/ micro chilly1 block for VGA), it works great.

I've had phase on my VGA for quite some time now, and it's great. Condensation and all that you have to watch for, and I'd only do it on my bench rig, unless it's a really lite powered Vapo or something, and lots of insulation. It's not a great thing for 24/7 rigs, but it can be done.

Voltmodding and all that are fantastic when you use a freezer on your graphics card though, and great scores too.

7800gtx can have cold issues, but if you read up and check out the solutions others are using, you can find ways to remedy that.

the way you put this it sounds like you are planning on cooling the cpu and the gpu at the same time, yes? for this you would need dual evap or two seperate units. just making sure that's clear as one conventional unit will do only cpu or gpu, not both simultaneously.

and yes, there is a cold bug with 7800's but i think there's a bios floating around that helps.

Thanks guys for the help!

just get a unit with 2 evaporator hoses.
It can be done.
