ive just recently decided to move to water cooling because well... im bored and i want something to do.

I have a pretty important question regarding gpu waterblocks. Are there any water blocks that will support both the gf3 and gf4? I ask this because i have a gf3 now, but i might upgrade to a gf4 in the near future (when the nv30 comes out and a 4200 is like 80 bucks) and i dont want to waste the money on a gf3 block and have it be useless when i upgrade

THX!

Not sure if the MCW40 mounting holes will work on a GF3 but it fits nicely on most GF4's

You could always mount it with Arctic silver adhesive then use use the freezer trick and remove it from the GF3 then use the mounting holes for the Gf4

Its a great GPU cooler
