Best Waterblock?

[Darkninja462]

I have recently purchased an Evga GTX 570 Classified and to me it seems to get too hot for my licking (80/90'dc). I had a loop for my previous gfx (Evga 9800GTX+ SSC) so the equipment is there, what would be the best waterblock for the job, it would only go onto a 240 radiator.

Not sure if the Classified is a reference board or not. You may have to go with the Classified waterblock if it's available. If it's a reference board then any full cover block will be good, performance is so close on all of them that it really doesn't matter. I like the XSPC blocks for the price, but there are other blocks out there if you want more bling.

Found this text on the EVGA forums, but you may want to do a double-check on the info. Perhaps someone can chime in and validate it:

From my understanding the layout of the 570 Classy is the same as the reference 570 except it has the extra vrm like the 580 has. So the reference 570/580 blocks will work on the 570 Classy.

Mmm, video card licking

If its a reference board, just pick a block that looks the best to you.

All the big brands are close in performance and will keep your gpu well below 50c.

How do you know if they're reference boards?

How do you know if they're reference boards?

i would simply email evga and ask if a reference 570 water block would be compatible with your video card. what you dug up shows it has extra vrms so it is not a "Reference" (stock) 570 so my guess would be a full cover block would not work for it. (not sure on that so dont quote me)
