Waterblocks for the Gx2 are gonna be trick...

**Waymon3X6** · 03-21-2008, 05:35 PM

Doesn't Innovatek already make one?

**CyberDruid** · 03-21-2008, 05:50 PM

I know of at least one maker that is in the prototyping stage...

**Papu** · 03-21-2008, 06:10 PM

cant wait

**emPUR3** · 03-21-2008, 09:05 PM

Whoa, just spent like 2 minutes just gazing upon those 9800GX2 cards. Is it safe to say that you would be saving A LOT of space if you removed those monster coolers and slapped on some blocks, haha.

Offtopic for a sec: How strong would your PSU have to be in order to power those cards?

**Waymon3X6** · 03-21-2008, 09:13 PM

I think the recommendation for 1 is 600watts...

Very nice setup!

Thanks! I will update my rig's pics once I install the Quad SLi Driver and put in the second 9800GX2

I also know a company that is on prototype stage, and if they go into production they will send me one to test out

Yes, but it is full aluminum...

True on the blocks

And better for the Southbridge's cooling...
I guess the overclocked rig at 4Ghz and 9800GX2 SLi will have to make do with my Antec TruePower Quattro 850W. Although they don't need to worry about mechanical HDDs.

Not really...since it's 2 pcb's with a cooler sandwiched in between, unless they find some way to have the cards be closer together, its gonna end up being a dual slot either way

if I ever got an 8800GX2 (which I wont) the first thing I'd do is remove that dumbass casing on it. lets see that slick black pcb!

It's probably some gay colour under the casing - PCB green, or that hideous beige that they used to make stuff in

and a picture of the custom rad grill on the top

**Loser777** · 03-22-2008, 08:06 AM

What LED fans are those? Trying to find some that don't just "glow".

It came with the case.

It is a Zalman 92mm LED fan.

**LockBreaker** · 03-22-2008, 09:30 AM

Zalman fans are the best looking fans that I know about.

Noone makes fans like'em. You can also see the leds on the CNPS9700.

True, just less plastic to deal with.

Just finished leak-testing. Still a fair bit of cable management to go, but I'm done for this weekend...
I think I need to redo the GPUs because I can't get the side panel on because the fan hits the tubing and pinches it. Going to borrow a page from CD and do the cards in parallel with EK Stubbies.

**Papu** · 03-22-2008, 05:17 PM

tight rig

**Aldy402** · 03-22-2008, 05:34 PM

@zlojack

you should water run your 3870s in parallel

Yep, that's the plan!

my first time posting here. but been a lurker here for so long. lol! ;-)

my simple rig..not yet final. will add 2nd loop for the chipset and mosfet and will be cooled by a pa120.1

**Pedalmonkey** · 03-22-2008, 06:51 PM

very clean. but why the flow killing elbows??

**knet370** · 03-22-2008, 07:07 PM

i had already rem0ved it. ;-) and its not yet final. i will be changing the top rad to a pa120.2 and the front rad to a pa120.1. right now im using hwlabs.(i got it from a friend for free

)

**Pedalmonkey** · 03-22-2008, 07:16 PM

brilliant. nice job on the clean build, and the elbows werent really that bad, just nit picking. :p plz tell me thats not an aluminum topped GTX cpu block. watch out for corrosion. you should try and get a copper top or just get a D-tek Fuzion CPU block
