Need help finding a GTX275 waterblock

[Sureshot2]

Hey guys, I need some help finding a FC waterblock for my XFX GTX 275 ( model # GX-275X-AHFF). It seems none of of EK's blocks will fit the card according to his configurator, and I see that Koolance has a block (VID-NX285N) thats apparently for the revised layouts of the 275 & 285, but I cant see if it is compatible, as it is not listed in Koolance's charts.

Here is a picture of my card:

It is true none of EK blocks fit.
And I believe you will not find a FC block from any other brands to fit your card.
Sorry...

How about you email koolance with that picture and ask.

That way if they say yes it will fit, when you get the block and it doesnt fit, you can return it with proof from staff saying it would of fit.

They have a really good return / rma policy.

What reference type (board #) is that? Going from that, we might be able to come up with a game plan. Swiftech has the Komodo series, which I'm using on my P897 (evga) GTX 275.

I don't think that it's a reference board. I looked all over the place for the number and couldn't find it. I ended up buying an MCW-60 and some ramsinks.

Looking good! glad you found a solution. Honestly, it probably cools just as well at a fraction of the price :up:

Alright, thanks for the help. I'll just a put a WB on my 260 and put the 275 in my farm. I'm not playing many games now so it should do just to complete the mod.

Just raise the clocks, it won't be exactly the same, but the 260s have great OC performance

Can somebody who removed cooler of that nonrefference xfx card please upload pictures of cooler flipped?
I cannot find anywhere on net pictures of that.

Thanks you in advance.

Thanks you very mach mikecdm. :)


They removed cooper and heatpipes? Can this "cooler" cope with gt200 under furmark? i am very disapointed, because i ordered that card :(

Now i see why to go on water... :)

Like i though, stock cooler bearly hold agains temps. Furmark push it to 92c and 95% fan. And that is non overclocked. Also, cooler is loud, even on 40 i can hear it (zotac 260 and asus 275 are not that loud). Jet engine and coffe blender in one!!!!

So i made min. vent to 25% to not hear it. I wish i have water :(
