    What fullcover block to MSI GTX285 Superpipe OC?

    Hi

    I recently won a MSI GTX285 Superpi OC gfx and what a nice card

    But the Superpipe cooler maks a lot of noise so im thinking about getting a fullcover block for it.

    The only problem is that it's not a refence layout

    The Nvidia Refence layout look like this



    And the MSI GTX285 Superpipe OC look like this under the hood.



    Is there made a fullcover blocks that can be mounted on the this gfx and where can i buy it?

    You can try to buy directly from EK.

    But you could consider going core only, you have a nice solution to cool the ram and you just need a decent airflow over the card (not sure how much heat is produced by those parts). I guess that and core only block has an better availability in Denmark.

    I all ready have a Swiftech MC60-R gpu block and im using atm on the card.

    But the heatsink profil there are on the card is not very good.

    Idle temp on the ram, pcb and mosfet is 45, 47 and 48 degress without an fan over the card.

    And i dont want to make some fancy pancy solution in my TJ07 case so the card can have some airflow

    Thanks for the help guys i will buy the block from EK i can see that they ship from Slovenian so it in the EU which means no taxes

    just use the 60 on the core and keep a fan pointed at the card.
