Somehow we must fit and asetek unit under the cooler shroud...

Mysterae pulled it off quite well:

That's the one i was thinking of, they look pretty awesome. I don't think it would be the same with the DD, as the fans are mounted at each end, rather than at one end.

Actually I've been having a look at one of my cards, and the fan shroud is in 2 pieces, that are screwed onto the pci-e bracket, meaning you could remove the heat sink, and fit a uny block on, and still be able to use the shroud and the fans, the fans would have to be connected to the shroud rather than the way they are now , connected to the heat sink.it looks like it would take very little to pull off.

They are very slim fans so it might just work


Do it do it do it do it

I'm looking at uny blocks now mate, it might be very easy, as long as I can find a thin enough block, the shroud won't have to be touched.

These might work, and they can be used with the EK dual bridge.

the fans are very slim and you could tape them onto the uniblock, or take a small plastic piece and mount them in someway

Most full cover water blocks are only one slot anyway.

Do keep in mind that your cooler/shroud is a bit taller than the actual card btw.

right, it could get in the way of the outlets

I've got 2mm ally flat bar that would work a treat, to mount the fans too.

From a quick measurement, it all looks pretty close, but it looks like it should just about fit beneath the 2 shroud sections, and depending on if I measured from the correct location on the card, it might need maybe a few mm's filled off.
