GF3 Waterblock

[vfarrand]

I am looking for a waterblock to fit onto a Geforce3, anyone know where to get one ?

We saw a prototype for one a couple months ago, but they have yet to be made commercially (as far as I know).

I made my own waterblock for less than $5 (all parts came from a hardware store. I'll be able to post some pics up, but not before Friday. Basicly the part that contacts the gpu is a copper pipe cap (the round kind that's flat and smooth on one side). I hope the pic below is pretty self-explanitory. I used silicone sealant and epoxy to hold the caps and barbs in place (you need a drill to make holes for the barbs) and is actually very sturdy. It took a lot of force to tear the waterblock apart with my hands and after re-assembling was tested for a week with my 350Gph Pondmaster for leaks. It's been running perfectly ever since. Right now I have it held down with zip-ties... they work great, but I'll probably be finding a new method in the future.

This one looks like it would work.

Overclockers hideout do one for NVidia cards ( https://www.overclockershideout.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=o&Category_Code=VCWC )

The overclocker hideout block if fine for most applications however I plan on using a high power peltier so I'm getting my own machined to my design from copper. If your interested I could get you one made. The machining for 'one-off' designs is pretty expensive, it will probably cost £60 (£ stirling) for my block.

I ordered mine from DANGERDEN (http://www.dangerden.com/) for i think it was $27.

Computers+Water= is this a safe practice?

Perfectly safe, if you mind your P's & Q's.
I have watercooling on my CPU and the chipset on the Motherboard.

BladeRunner has built a watercooled GF3 card based on a DD block and made a block for the memory.
Cool-computers (http://www.cool-computers.com/site/default.asp#news ) is going to sell them. ($89 I believe)

Nvidia's (http://www.nvnews.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=001890) CEO has recently (august 21) bought BladeRunners watercooled card.
