View Full Version : Which water blocks fit MSI 9800 Pro mounting holes?

Have only owned this one Pro card. Most info found says "will fit ATI Radeon cards with mounting holes." I do not know if MSI and Radeon holes are in same location. My card has the heatsink which covers most of the card. Was going to get Polarflo TT block, but shim will have to be removed as shim higher than GPU chip and again, do not know if block will work with MSI mounting holes.

Some info for others.
Card has R360 core, shows in Windows as Pro, not Xt. Hardly OC's at all with Catalyst drivers. Have had OC'd to XT specs with ATI standard drivers, but not tried going higher. Shows 1 or 2 artifacts after running overnight.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Doesn't anyone have a water cooled MSI 9800 Pro? I would appeciate any water block recommendations before I buy a block that will not fit card without modification. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for help. Do you know for sure these blocks will fit inside the shim on the board? The shim is higher than the GPU chip.

Thanks for the help. I am assuming from your answer the MSI card has the mounting holes in the same location as ATI Radeon cards. (As MSI does not make an XT.) Plan to flash bios to XT after water cooling installed. I've been looking online for the Silverprop Cylcone Fusion HL for vid card and the Nexus SX for chipset. Hard to find for less than list price. Only place with a good price was out of stock.

hehe, try this http://www.dtekcustoms.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=92 here.........Mounts perfectly on a 9800 card & allows for huge ramsinks. :D

Although, it is a chipset block & not designed for a video card, it still works well.........I would only recommend this one though if you have huge ramsinks or need the barbs to point up vertically, rather then parallel to the card. Thats why I ended up doing it. I also removed the shim on my 9800 XT with zero problems.
