Watercooling X1900XTX???

[mbmapit44]

Ok guys when i get my new rig up and running i want to watercool the gfx card but i have been looking around and the only waterblock i can find is the koolance one. What i need to know is what is the best waterblock?

-dangerden

-koolance

-alphacool

-ek waterblock

It will be used on a seperate loop due to my cpu going under a closed loop system (coolit freezone).

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

P.s. if i go with the koolance shall i get the matching block for the voltage regulators???

Not sure on which i would say are the best blocks but my personal favourite is the maze 4 which will also fit the x1900xtx with the right mounting kit. Also the swiftech MCW60, D-Teks custom vga block should also fit this card. There are others if im right just have a look around m8 Hope this helps. Also what size tubing are you going to be using as this would help narrow down the search?

Cheers

I really don't mind what tubing but the blocks u mentioned aren't what i was looking for. I'm after a block that will cool the ram chips too. Sorry i forgot to mention that.

Ram chips only need ramsinks on them.

As Tom says although if you wish to water cool the lot then how about the DangerDen X18 GPU Block (1/2") ? I know its for the x18 series but if they have the same layout then this could be the one? Wether itll fit or not i couldnt say as i never use gpus other than nvidia Hope this helps

Ram chips only need ramsinks on them.

Not if you really want to push the ram

I'm using the MCW 60 on my X1900Xt, I get 27C Idle and 37 load temps.
