Dangerden Maze 4 Fits My EVGA 6800.

I thought the hole pattern was suppose to be different, but upon taking off my heatsink of my 6800 today, I found some holes that looked familiar, and sure enough, my regular old Maze 4 GPU block fits right on my 6800.

is this unique to EVGA cards, or are other people finding thier old waterblocks fit thier 6800's just fine too?

I always heard the 6800's have a different hole pattern, hence you need a new waterblock for it, but for the EVGA, it's the same as always, just the plain old Nvidia hole pattern.

I went from 52C to 42C.
and a max OC of...

424/840 to 445/855

just a word, the ram sinks on the EVGA are an absolute neccessity in my case, without them I lost 40 mhz on the ram OC.
it's the most extreme case of "needing ramsinks" I ever seen.
cause without it, the card overheats very fast for some reason.

now I see why dangerden chose a core and mem cooler, instead of a adaptor for the maze 4.

last one, I promise.
I am just trying to show as much as possible to show the maze 4 does fit my videocard, and maybe yours too

Well that's a real deal, especially since the 6800 dd block is $$ and not so great. Have you though about mountin a fan on there to cool the ram heatsinks? that may help. I like a 80 or 92mm fan and zip tie approach.

Those Holes appear to be unque to your brand, I've found a couple of others that don't http://www.pcinpact.com/images/bd/news/9389.jpg
for example

I wonder if other brands of 6800's have the extra holes...

or if the other EVGA cards do, like the GT and Ultra?

only the NU's have these, as both the GT's and the ultras do not

i don't know if all the NU's have these, but they should if they're reference designs

but i do know that none of teh gt's or ultras have these extra holes

my msi 6800nu has them too.

Great find!!! Gonna order one today, and take out that noisy heatsink. It is by Far the, most noise in my case right now

great find indeed man.

Suma.
