    My custom 8800GT cooling solution

    *I edited in the pictures of the final version sinks so that nobody would get the two confused.

    Spent the some freetime over the last few days at the shop on the CNC mill, decided to go liquid on my 8800GT since the stock cooler was so loud and ineffective. I like FC blocks more visually, but practicality wise I decided to go for seperate cooling. I wanted to keep the block fairly high flow so I decided on an offshoot of the wavy fin style of the EK blocks.

    Unfortunately I don't have any data yet since I just finished about an hour ago, I will be testing tomorrow and will update this thread with some load temps.

    That is beautiful. Do you happen to have the dimensions for the holes mounting on the 8800gt?

    If your annoyed by sigs telling you to put things in your sig, then put this in your sig

    Haha, I got crap on the other forum about that too. Only about 1/4 of those two chips are not covered. I've seen many ramsinks that don't cover the whole chip as well so besides looking a bit careless I don't think it hurts performance too much.

    These are just prototypes, I was using the mill in manual mode and just eyeballing it from the screw holes. When I have decided on a final design it will be DEAD ON trust me...

    I'm about to do some quick testing right now, my only numbers so far are that the idle temp went from 57C (stock fan@60% case side off) to 28C.





    edit:Load temps in crysis demo after fifteen minutes of play, AQX-50Z pump, PA160, single 120mm San Ace @ 7v, 24C ambient:


    @600 core

    37C gpu, 33C cpu


    @650

    39C gpu, 35C cpu


    @700

    40C gpu, 36C cpu


    My cpu's load delta as expected has gone up several degrees with the gpu added to the loop. The gpu block seems to be cooling beatifully.

    Thought I'd bump with a pic installed in my case...



    So far this block seems to be performing on par with an MCW60, maybe even a bit better. I haven't broken 40C load yet, even at 720 core.

    Freaking sweet, man! We (me and my buddy at work) were just joking that we should get some CNC equipment at work for when we get bored. :-P
