[arkadur]

i've this raid controller, and i want to fit a waterblock to it.
i'm building a new system soon, and i want to watercool everything.

the card dont have holes, but he using a metel clip - like Intel MB's

this is a pic of the PCB, i'm talking about the right sink - CPU.

thanks,

Those could work.

the second option looks good, with the "tunnel" for the clip in the middle.
thanks!

Actully this one will fit:

I have the PERC5i and the chc-122 and it looks to be a dead on fit. It comes with a retention clip that is the same size as the original without the bend in the middle.

It will only cool the main chip though. The second chip does not have any hold down loops, so I haven't figured out how to mount a block there. I am currently using just forced air on it and it works fine.

You could also look at the MCW30 and the SNBW-SLI Rev.A as options with that style clip mount.

I think they are harder to mount than the Koolance since it has the little groove that makes it easier to mount versus the ones you mentioned.

Both have the groove for the clip. For the Enzo block, you need to take the blue plastic cover off to mount the block with the clip.

Yep, you are right on the Enzotech, I just looked at the instructions and it shows that, however you would need to use the original clip since the Enzotech clip is much wider than the original and I do not know if it would hold it correctly or not.

IDK, that chip looks about the size of a NB to me, the block clips might fit. Even if they don't, fitting the original clip shouldn't be a problem for any of the blocks list so far except maybe the GPU-180. I'd be really wary of a clip pushing down on that plastic.

Just redid my loop today and decided I would water cool my PERC5i card. I used the Koolance CHC-122 with the mount that comes in the box. Fittings other than barbs are very tight on this block, so keep this mind when setting it up.
