GPU Cooling

Midnight Dream · Jan 20, 2006

Ok, im getting really tired of this fan on my 6800 Ultra. Im wanting to do some sort of watercooling on it, but the $125 price tag on DD's new waterblock is sorta making me leery, and I kinda sorta killed my 6800 GT when I tried to put on a Maze4 (Though I swear I did everything right, I never saw a scratch get made on it anywhere). Anyways, does anybody else have a recommendation on what I should do?

I would get the Stasis block, that way if you get a 7800 you can still have watercooling! I have a DD block that I got second hand for about $70, it's sweet but now I don't want to upgrade my waterblock when I upgrade GPUs.

AFAIK the stasis block is not out, and there hasnt been an official release date from what I know. Anybody know different?

*bump* Any update on the Stasis block?

Swifteck MCW55. The DD NV-68's are almost impossible to get a good mount with. I've got a pair of 6800GT's oc'd to 448/1190 that run at 38C under load.

im not sure what kind of problem you had regarding installation of a maze 4, but i would say stick to that as that should be the easiest to install compared to those full size blocks like the NV-68's. Buy some OCZ copper ramsinks and you're all set.

I also recommend the DD Maze 4. The temperature drops on my 7800 were incredible. Get the OCZ ramsinks as well and call it a day.

I prefer this over the maze 4: http://www.cooltechnica.com/Merchan...Product_Code=AQX-MP1-GPU-DT&Category_Code=VCW

I too decided on this block for my GTO2. I must say though, their processing time isn't as lightning fast as the regular on-line retailers I'm used to. They have kept in contact with me though, and seem to have a good reason for the delay (swamped with orders for their new limited edition block).
