9800GX2 Water Blocks...

[skinnee]

Then you will not buy it...

Sarcasm...just another reason to buy from EK!

[NaeKuh]

maybe 2 loops with a 120.2 for each GPU?? idk. ive seen people run 2 ultras on a 120.3 b4. these 9800gx2's seem like they put out even more heat.

Pedal, this miss conception that the GPU's need to be super cool to get greater overclocking is a myth. Unless you can dip into sub ambient cooling.

Air will achieve the highest rated overclock on GPUs unless you volt mod.

So using this logic, it makes no sense to keep your gpu's super cool as long as its quieter and better then air.


Anyhow Andy, as long as your gpu's are kept cooler then air, id say you shouldnt put too much effort in them. I dont think you vmod your cards.

[Pedalmonkey]

NaeKuh, Andy said he was going to Vmod those cards, but idk. i would agree that a 120.3 would handle those fine, but if he is Vmoding i would be more careful than hasty.

LOL i missed that comment on the overvolt.

Andy your screwed. 4 videocards and your asking for it expecially vmoded. Andy drop another radiator, and split your cards up on individual loops.

An MCR220 should be enough for 1 card. Have two of them and it should hold you out unless those cards can push more wattage then a solo 8800Ultra.

Amazing job on the GX2 block EK . Definitely interested in picking one up as soon as my CC relaxes from my recent upgrades

The Acrylic looks damn clean and nice.. can't wait to go EK Supreme + gx2 block + pa120.3

One thing I've been thinking about with these 9800GX2 blocks. Are you going to be able to keep the plastic housing around it still intact or how are those connected on there? I'm sure you'll have to have the top portion off but I'm unfamiliar with how those are constructed. It could be super clean if that stays on and only a small opening in the top between the cards for the waterblock connections. Anyone have any insight on this? Maybe mcoffey could comment on how he thinks it would work since he's got the cards.

[fornowagain]

The housing will get in the way and its made of metal btw.

[Polizei]

@mcoffey 120.3 with high flow fans might do it. id figure its about 4 8800Ultras for heat load, so you might be pushing it.

How would 2 9800GX2's put out the same heat as 4 8800Ultras? The GX2 uses a different core that is cooler, and both cards are clocked between a G92GT and G92GTS.

[Xilikon]

A more accurate one would be vs 4 8800GTS 512MB.

[Pedalmonkey]

i was mearly using that as an estimate for a VOLTMODDED gx2. which every one seemed to miss in Mcoffeys post. not trying to be a troll, but he did put vmodded which =more heat.

[Xilikon]

Yeah, that's true... then 4xGTX would be more accurate then.

[BlueAqua]

I guess we need some 9800GTX blocks now. Eddy what do you have to offer?

[Pedalmonkey]

r those GX2's or GTX's??

[BlueAqua]

9800GTX's. The GX2's are a lot more square looking while the GTX's coolers are curvy and smooth.

[Pedalmonkey]

r those up for retail yet?? they look nice and if they OC anything like the GX2's they could be worth it with a nice 790i board.

[disruptfam]

does 3 9800gtx's outdo 2 x 9800gx2's?

[Pedalmonkey]

you wana give the ones you not using to me?? preferabley the faster ones :P

[Pedalmonkey]

yeah, those GX2's are just amazing looking.

[disruptfam]

looking forward to the results mate

Some blocks from AquaComputer.





Cheers.

Your late.

It's kind of disappointing, I was hoping for more. At least it's copper with 1/4" connections, but I don't like how the blocks are connected and it looks like a lot more flow restriction. I think the Ek block looks way more massive and efficient. I think I'll go with Ek.

[\/\/ater (ooler]

OMG!! am i reading that right??

what about high and very high?? and also 4xAA testing please

[sonofander]

nice Andy!
puts me in a place where I'd consider switching video card soloitions... Too bad with tri-sli you can't run a sound card

How bout some runs @ 1900x1200 very high settings?

So Andy, which do you think drives a 30" monitor better so far... 2 GX2s or the 3 GTXs?

[zbogorgon]

some pics of mounted block

[BlueAqua]

Looking good. zbogorgon, could you post some temperature and your setup if you could? I'm curious if you have before air temps and after watercooling temps. I'm also curious to see the temperature difference between cores if there is any.
