I was looking at the spec of the block, and while low profile, the tubes do not allow passive heatsinks on a couple of the DDR chips.
If there is enough room to fit the HL in it i cant see it having enough room to fit ram coolers under the tubing maybe if you removed the Copper backplate which could be an option but not one i took.
the SL performs extremely well i have to say very impressed with it so far, infact very impressed with the temps from the whole system assuming they are accurate.
dwwalker14335: I saw one guy who cut down his ram heatisnks from teh stock setup when he watercooled.. he just used a dremel.. it worked really well to get the block to fit and keep the heatsinks.. I suggest you do the same.. it will work nicely
Actually, I am using the Innovatek blocks, so no problem with RAM cooling here. Just discussing RAM cooling options on the Silverprop low profile GPU heatsinks. ;)
there's plenty of room underneath the fusion HL for ramsinks. i've got some mounted underneath the tubing just fine. i'll borrow a camera sometime this week and take pics.Quote:

He is leak testing right now. The height of the HL sits lower than the cards double slot bracket so i see no reason for these to not fit on an SLI board that doesnt have the extra space that the Asus board has. I am anxiously awaiting the DFI boards to ship and am in the process of choosing which cards to get myself. The DFi SLI board is one that has restricted space between the pci-e x16 slots unlike the Asus and whichever cards i choose to get i can tell you that they will have Silverprop Fusion HL's slapped straight on them :) . As soon as a buddy comes over with a camera i'll get my bro to post some shots for you to see too.
Cheers, dEl. :toast:
Well im not doubting and maybe i should have got the HL blocks and depending on how the 2 Watergun Blocks work, i may change to them.
Il try and get a picture to show you just how cramped my setup is as it really is a tight fit, by the looks of the HL its a monster in terms of height and my naural reaction was to assume it wouldnt fit but if its less than 2 cards then it must fit and i must have been wrong:)
EDIT: Added Pics ( Sorry for poor quality il try and get some with a betetr camera sometime soon)
As you can see it is tight, but when lookng at it i there is a fair bit more space available by removing teh copper backplate and moving the zip ties ( i use zipties instead of jubilee clips)

The Picture above Shows the Bottom of the stock cooled when rested against the top of the first card as you can see there is barely 1 mm spare between the copped backplate and the stock cooler

These 2 pictures show the Watergun Waterblocks ( i call them that as i have no other name for them)

I don't understand German so I had hard time exploring their online shop
You can get them at highspeedpc.com.Quote:

And, the reason why I chose the Innovatek? Cooling? Sure. Copper Core? Nice to have. Cools the RAM? Hmmm. Does the power rail too? Nice add. The real reason? I like the "perty boo cullas". ;)
Doesn't anyone know??
It's PGEO it was french , this brand is dead :(
Okay, time for an update. Just hooked up the custom waterblocks to a pair of 6800U and here is the temp difference.

Custom SLI waterblocks

nice how about under load ?
Can you please recommend the tools to test 100% load. I remember that there is a program called HDLRD or something like that, but I can't get the name right. Hence I can't find it. Sorry!!Quote:

Hey H20Gun.. Did those blocks that i bought from ya get out in the mail yet?

Can someone tell me where i might beable to pick up some barbs for these blocks? 1/2" elbow is what i'm lookin for.
Eva, here is the load temp of GPU1 after running the program >10mins. GPU2 temp is pretty much the same as idle temp. Maybe the prog does not support SLI yet.

CoolTechnica has it here: http://www.cooltechnica.com/Merchant...e=Barb_FittingQuote:

COol thanks.. That'all work out great. THats what i was originally thinkig of using anyways heh.
With wat are those blocks sealed? (black stuff)
nice load temps indeed :)
Did you mean the black stuff in the middle of the block? If yes, it's a plasticky material to prevent water going around outside the channel.Quote:
