nVidia 7950GX2 and DD 7800 Series Block

[BioTuned]

I am planning doing an upgrade within about a week for the system that i currently have. I will be upgrading the motherboard, the processor, the video card and the power supply. I am planning on getting two BFG or XFX nVidia 7950 GX2 and i want to know if they will fit on the DD 7800 Series water blocks for the sli or maze 4 low profile acetal?

Have you even seen the 7950gx2? No way will that block work.

[Janus67]

I am highly highly doubting it by seeing how close the cards are together. That is beyond low-profile seeing how we aren't talking about two slots, but the two cards to go in one slot.

[BioTuned]

is there any other solution to this?

scratching out the two 7950's gunna go with 2x 7900 w/ 512mb will the DD 7800 Series Fit on them?

Danger Den has a nice, but expensive, block for the 7950 GX2. I have one sitting in it's box waiting for install. And man, I'll be soooo glad to get rid of the NOISEY GX2 fans!

Yea 200 bucks for block, he was talking qual sli thats 400 bucks just in GPU blocks! Insane! Might as well wait for DX10 cards at this point if you are talking about doing 2 GX2's. Even if you still get the 7x series they will drop in price after DX10 cards.

Wouldnt you also need a very strong and possible independent loop from the rest of the system? I head the 7950 GX2 dumps out massive amounts of heat and that on top of your CPU, North & South Bridges or anything else, it would be a lot to deal with.

So you're spending like about $500 on the graphic cards, another $200 on the water blocks. And if you want 2 of them, thats $400 and $1000. $90 on pump, another $40 on a rad, in other words you're going to just spend over $2000 on just graphics and cooling. I make full sizes systems for less than that!

Wouldnt you also need a very strong and possible independent loop from the rest of the system? It is just like cooling 2 7900 cards not that much heat really. They are very small cores so they can't put off that high of a heat volume but they do get hot. They really are not going to dump that much heat. Look @ the stock coolers they are tiny.

[NeoSpawn]

Yeah your right about the 7900's heat sinks being pretty small, considering that its also cooling the other chips around it. But still with the 2 cards as one, is has 2 heat sinks. Who has 7950's and could tell us their heat temps and all? Pretty please?^^
