Hello, it has been a while but thought i would stop by for any suggestions. I have a Asus 5870 Matrix OC 2Gb Graphics card and it is loud.... really loud.
Now I have had water cooling in my system for some years and to be frank i dont really utilise any of it as i dont really over clock, i just likr the Quietness off it. So here is my plan.... I am going to buy something like a Corsair H60 and pop it on the GPU! I will then use some heatsinks and a 120 mm fan to blow cold air on to the Ram heat syncs. I have found a sample card as seen in the picture below. can anyone see any floors in my logic?
so far i have taken the stock cooler off. I plan on using the plastic casing and removing the heat sync from inside. cutting a hole large enough to fit the water block in for the corsair gear then using a 60mm fan in the hole left my the stock cooler.... I know the corsair will provide enough cooling for the GPU but do you think the fan will provide enough air flow for the ram chips? Looking forward to you knowledgable input!!
