gtx 260 WATERCOOLING HELP

hi, i currently own a cpu watercooling setup, and now want to cool my gpu since its making my system warm. i cant seem to find many gpu blocks that would fit my gtx 260. its an Evga GTX 260 SSC edition core 216 65nm.

but i did find that a Swiftech MCW60-R2 would fit. the problem is that i cant find the mofsets for it. and i really dont want to spend more than £50, the block on its own is £30ish.

also another question is if my radiator can handle it? its a black ice stealth 240, which has 2 slim (20cm thick) yate loons. the cpu is a Q6600 oced to 3.8ghz and the full load is 45 degrees and at idle is 30-35. but i usually have it at 3.6ghz (the temp is about the same, maybe a couple degrees lower).

and the room temp is usually 20 degrees although today was probs about 25.

ps. my gpu is running 40 degrees idle and 80 at full load or it might have been 75...

many thanks james.
 
can seem to find any for the 65nm version's mate well any full cover one's, ive checked

specialtech and OCUK

regarding the mosfets cant you just get some seperate?
 
Right nice simple answer to start with the rad will not cope.

The 260 is a massive pita tbh as the 65nm have a few types, iirc some of the 280 blocks fit but you really have to check the pcbs of the card carefully.

As for the swiftech you wont find a seperate block for the mosfets, they may make a heatsink block but gernaly you have to add individual sinks like the enzotech's.

Tbh dude your card is just a pita, we'd really need a picture of the bare PCB showing the GPU core.
 
If you got another black ice skinny rad youd need another 240 tbh mate, thats rads arnt built for loads of heat and will struggle with extended periods of use without fans like tornado's.
