I thought X1800 has the same tooling holes as 7800. But was I wrong :mad: The ATI holes position is about 3 mm off than 7800. Now I got a x1800xt sitting around becasue can't fit my WC system :mad:
Does anybody know which block fits x1800?

this might sound stupid but did you use the "nvidia holes" or "ati holes" on the block?:p

no I checked.
Maze4 doesn't fit, but Acetal Maze4 fits
Man I knew I should have bought Acetal back then

if you're careful you can drill holes for it. just make sure the diameter of the bit is a bit small so you can thread the holes.

I would do this. Guys at DD are cool. I am sure they will hook you up. ;)
BTW Don't make the same mistake...buy a low profile one/top. That way if you ever want to run dual card you can. (There is no performance difference just a little tighter to install ramsinks.)

Yeah DD failed to tell me I would need a different backing plate for my new x1800 xt when I told them that I had an x800 XL at the time. So I get my x1800xt today and its on air...........poor Maze 4 is just sitting there lol. Had to order my plate too :( Coulda done it well in advanced and been prepared.
x1800XT uses 6800/7800 Mounting hardware actually.
Go to DangerDen.com and look. I am thinking of ordering everything and getting back into Water Cooling alittle.
