Watercooled 5870

[biscuitboy]

Yo guys,

Just wondering if anyone had Watercooled a 5870 and which block they used?

Was looking at the EK block....

Which barbs or fittings do you recommend?? Running 1/2" tubing

Bitspower have a MEGA sexy block thats almost ready. Ive got one coming for review if you want to wait to read that?

Is it me or are all these blocks essentially the same, but with different mounting hole positions + £60 ?

Seems an awfull lot of cash.

Yeah! Cool, i'll wait and take a look at that man! Whens it coming in?? Can I have it after please?? lol...

Yeah, Cheapest I can find is like £75, does hurt tbh...Esp if your running CF, probably cheaper to wait for the cards with decent coolers like the Vapor-X cards etc, I just cant contain myself for that long! lol

just waiting for my Asus MARS block to be made and then the 5870 block is coming with that amongst other parts.

Cyberpower have some Powecolor LCS 5870s in their forums. They say it has a EK Nickel Block, it's about £70 more than the standard card so that's a good indication of the block's price.

Is it integrated? In another word, it is used for cooling for gpu、 memory and power supply at the same time.

Time to revive this thread I think! Any of the Blocks been reviewed yet?? There are 2 or 3 out now (EK, XSPC and Koolance).

Swiftech, Aquacomputer, Watercool, Danger Den and Bitspower all have blocks readily available as well as EK, XSPC and Koolance. No reviews around yet though.
