what about 470?

and £100 for a water block? hell no

[dangel]

They'll be cheaper ones but you're probably looking at 80 quid - big old lump of metal. Watercooling is not a cheap hobby.

i did want a pair of EVGA water cooled cards but im not that impressed with the design so i look forward to the koolance and EK blocks.

[dangel]

Alphacool and EK are usually pretty good on the money side (and good designs too). I usually prefer double sided blocks where possible (i.e. with a backplate to cover the memory on the other side of the pcb).

EK's website:

"Plans for Nvidia GTX 470/480 blocks - 30/03/2010

We are working on releasing new full cover blocks for new Nvidia GTX 470/480 graphic cards.

ETA middle of April.

Any additional/specific info will be posted here."

the 400 series has no memory on the back though does it ?

[adder]

Is there a no project to make water cooling yourself? lol

Looks like it - good spot.

Anything else tho? VRMs?

[GoNz0]

it seems to cover that, if you look at the evga version the vrm's are on a heatpipe system, it put me off a bit !

[HW_90]

I wonder how much the coolit omni plus fermi attachments will cost, because I'll happily pay £90 for it

[GoNz0]

i would never trust a one for all cooling block

I love the quality of Danger Den blocks. I had 2x full cover blocks for 6800GT's in SLI and they looked amazing.

Well they're aiming for under $300 so it must be pretty good considering it's coolIT who try and aim for low prices.

i have the bfg gtx280 that came with the dden block, i then imported the backplate as i was so impressed.

[pricey4907]

I was really pleased when BFG started doing DD water blocks and the cost wasnt too much more than doing it yourself.

[GoNz0]

thats why i brought it, it cost less than doing it myself.
