sleeper watercooled gtx480

[mk-ultra]

i had spare parts from a dead 480 and i wanted to try that since i got my first one.

what i did/used
Metal plate trimmed
Plastic cover trimmed
Metal cover glued
Koolance GPu-220


block fitted with plastic cover


i've added an extender on the left fitting, not enought clearance for the tubing


noob mistake, super glue leaked a bit and turn some of the plastic near the metal cover white-ish


doesn't look that bad
kept the fan to cool the metal plate a bit, mofsets needs active cooling when overclocked.



First mount was leaking on the metal plate inside the cover, got to be VERY careful, second mount did the trick. (mounting out of PC first is for pussies)

The plastic cover is now really fragile after cutting it and installing/removing it many times, the plastic tab looks a bit tired. I'm in no way implying that this is better or looks better than a full block but I didn't had a full block yet and i like to do work on things like that so why not.

Nice job! Always like to see alternatives to FC blocks.

[Waterlogged]

Nice job mk-ultra.


[Koolance]Tim, any chance you guys could hurry up that redesign a bit?. . .it's coming up on 4 months already.

That's an awesome mod, it looks as if it came from the factory like that

How's your gpu temps at load?? Would like to see how this performs..

[mk-ultra]

thanks for the comments guys

johnny;
I've used this block before and it's does a pretty good job IMO



40idle to 47-48 when running vantage, i don't use furmark or other stuff like that...unneeded stress
this is my bench setup tho prepping to OC, i got one 120mm blowing on the back of the PCB, MCR320(stacked)+1xMCR220) all fan at 12v, i usually run @ 5v for 24//7

now let's see how far it will go
