Ok thank u, so the mcw60 does indeed cover the whole ihs. Thats what i thought!

Well my first scores are in...not too shabby

Nevermind the scores, it looks so nice! Awesome job!Quote:

I think that I have the highest score on the ORB, for single 8800 gtx and without a quad core cpu!!!
oc past 600/1000 temps? what pump, just curious?
good job!
jc
mcp 350
Temps full load 61c at 1.55v gpu and 1.99v mem
Interestingly, it wouldn't go past 745 and I don't have software to bump the mem past 1100
If we find out that 745 is max core speed, then this may be a cheap alternative to the dd setup.
I have to search for otheers getting higheer clocks and check their temps.
Any help would be appreciated, from those who know where to look.
wow very nice indeed.. you should think about making the bracket commercially if it's financially feasible :)
as someone asked, maybe try the apogee waterblock with a revised bracket ? :)
Use "Systool" it allows you to clock your memory to 1500, but then again this is not 2008.Quote:

My GPU loads right now for reference at 20c ambient are at 42c, typcially they are 46-52c at 25c ambient
u only need the bottom of the apogee...Quote:

Come on Swiftech this can't be so hard... :p:
Is the mounting pattern the same on the gtx and gts?Quote:

Here are some pictures. I am working on an sli setup and had to use rev 1 for one card and rev 2 for the other

a dab of super glue holds the heatsinks from falling off

rev 1 allows mounting of an 80mm fan to cool the heatsinks, etc. Rev 2 is without the tangs for the fan, and allows me to use the oem fan and shroud.

what about cooling the VRMs ? apparently they get REALLY hot !
I'm sorry but I don't see a buy now button in that last post. :(
very nice work :D
is that a 80mm fan ? you could make a 80mm to 120mm bracket on to to sit a 120mm fan to cool ramsinks too :)
I have touched everything on these cards while benching and with the 80mm fan and heatsinks on mem chips and ramdac, nothing gets hot. the heatsinks don't even get warm.
Here are a couple of pics of my 680i sli setup on the bench
Excuse the mess, I didn't want to cut any hoses or clean it up until I am ready to put it all in the case
You can see both versions, one with 80mm fan and the otheer with modified oem fan and shroud
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...1&d=1164002085
this is the evga 680i. Notice that I can mount mcw 30's on north and south bridges.
the 80mm fan setup is used in the first position, because even the oem fan and shroud will not clear the southbridge with a cooler on it.
Yes , I can get a pci card in there
the other card gets the modified oem fan and shroud...otherwise the card wouldn't fit in the case.
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...1&d=1164002085
Here is an overhead shot of the southbridge mcw30
The screws have to go in fron the top, so I will cut some holes in the plate under the mb and mount the springs and nuts from the other isde...even so, the bottom of the card only clears the mcw 30 by maybe 1/8 of an inch. with the oem fan shroud, it's a no go. (maybe yes with a shorter card)

I have a bit of material left over, enough to make 4 more, but I don't want to get in trouble on this forum, so how would I go about getting them to anyone who wants one?
i'd be interested in such brackets.. is it possible to have it mounted so the thread/bolt comes up from behind/backside of card to front, instead of front side of card to back ? the MCW60 rev2 mounting mechanism does this but the rev1 doesn't
the 80mm fan does cool the heatsinks. the air deflects over the mcw60 and outwards. I ran this for 5 hours , benching and playing around,. Nothing on the card got hot. the small chips at the back of the board could use some heatsinks, but that's about it.Quote:

as it is, when I put this card in, it stands up straight, because the 80mm fan just touches the edge of the pci slot
amazing setup rjw, thanks for sharing....
im stunned ... I can't wait to get the mounting clips from Swiftech !
the way I made it, (thru holes) you can mount the screws from either side of the cardQuote:

I am sure that the Swiftech solution will be more refined and polished (I hope), but this has allowed me to move forward...
Does watercooling the G80 on stock volts allow for better clocks? Because according to anandtech's roundup here: http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2873&p=5
The sparkle TEC card ran 20C cooler than the others but it still wasn't able to OC as high as the eVGA.
Makes no sense? :confused:
I think temp matters, hehe just look at Kink's cooling :) http://www.nordichardware.com/news,5097.html
Edit: Oww saw that you wrote stock volt now.. hmm I dont really know about that
So the question remains, does watercooling G80 @ stock volts increase max OC?
