Aircool vid cards when phase change comes or watercool?

[FragTek]

Ok so I have a bit of a confustricating decision facing me...

I'm thinking about pickin up a Lian-Li PC-65 to replace my PC-75 when I pick up my Vapochill LS and return to aircooling my vid card(s) and sell my PC-75 fully loaded with a full ready to use top of the line wc setup.

What would u do? Keep the PC-75 and use the wc setup for the vid cards, possibly chipset etc... Or would u just sell it, wc setup and all, and use that money to help fund a smaller case and phase unit? With this mobo it's gonna be a lot of fucking around to get a good watercooled sli setup together due to the space constrictions between the cards, therefor I'm thinking just SLi on air.

Let me hear your thoughts. Thx :wavey:

Dude, water cooling and Phase Change in one box would have to be the L337EST thing I've ever seen.

Keep the current setup man! W/C the GFX, RAM, CHIPSET, and Fet's.

LoL... That was the original plan but I dont' know if I want to be arsed to figure out a good sli watercooling setup for the DFI board... The chipset would be doable with that custom made SLi compatible waterblock from Germany, along with the custom ram and mosfet waterblocks. That would be pretty damn 1337

But... 1337 vs. arsage vs. performance gain... I think arsage wins, I don't think watercooling all that stuff would give me a significant enough performance gain to justify the time and money spent, but it definately would be uber 1337!

I'll have to think long and hard about it DD needs to make an NV68 SLi waterblock package that will fit the damn DFI's!

with all that money spent, u could get 2x 7800gtx's and wc the whole setup. i dont see how 400mhz = $900.. but oh well

maybe sell the 4000 and get an fx57 on water?

yeah those are both good points too... phase change is all about the 1337ness Plus if I did that and then stuck an FX-57 under it, omfg pwnage

can y ou take out a loan for me and pay it back as welll?

 

[balilu]

same heere

if you where going to leave the cards on air: stock cooling or NV silencers?

Silencers won't fit I don't believe, not on the DFI board. I can fit the Zalmans though.

I would get the pahse change and some decent air on those cards (only the Zalmon's would fit) althouth a 1337 waterblocked/phase change system would kick t3h sh1t.

I think you should rig up the FX-57 in da chilly 0n3!! :wavey: :wavey: :worship: :worship:

That's the master plan, but a very expensive one at that
