Cooling options for GTX260? (65nm ref)

[Polizei]

All I can seem to find is the DD Tieton. EK doesn't sell the GTX260/280 block anymore, and I can't seem to find any on ebay. Any other full cover options?

I wouldn't be opposed to using an MCW-60/80 and RAMsinks (or a unisink if I could find one), although I would prefer a fullcover. How many and what type of RAMsinks would I need (PWM, RAMDAC, etc).

It seems like you'd end up spending more on the water cooling than the card is worth (which is most likely why it is getting discontinued.) Is there any reason why you don't like the DD product? It looks like the block covers all of the heat generating points to me but I'm certainly no expert. I've always been extremely pleased with their customer service though.

I think that there was a thread earlier about this. Performance-PCS has lots of blocks for all sorts of GPU's including the old, 65nm GTX 260's. Mine is the Core 216 and this is what I'm thinking of.

I believe this block works for both the 280 and 260 cards.

Wow. I had no idea Performance-PCs had that many blocks. Thanks.
