I want to water cooling my 8800gtx when i get it, but i don't know what to do for cooling the ram modules on the card. I have a reference pick of the ram sinks swiftech used on there website, but theres 4 other ramsinks that i don't know where to find thats on the card.

I would use a cheap Zalman NB cooler for the Physics die. And the rest I would keep the same(in the picture). Check out Frozen CPU, Newegg, Performance PCs, and Xoxide to find the heatsinks.

I had nothing better to contribute.

Sounds good, but something i just found out though, the mcw60 doesn't completely cover the the card. Is this true because if so, i might just wait for a different waterblock.

yes but if you remove the IHS then it would fit fine :-P

yeah I guess I could take off the ihs,but the thing is though, I dont want to mess up the gpu because its not like a cpu that u can actually remove so its easier. and I backed out in buying a 8800 anyway because the price is a little rediculious. ill just wait till the card drops $150-200. by then vista and crysis will be out.
