GPU watercooling.

[philbar71]

so over the past few weeks i have been pretty busy but i finnaly found the time to sit down and cut up my stock gpu heatsink so i didnt have to buy any ram coolers or mosfet coolers. any way you will see what i am talking about from the pics.

you can see what i clevearly did, saved me alot of money, instead of buying those stupid mem heatsinks and mosfet coolers

installed and running,

looks stock

lol. nice phil.

what kind of temps are you getting?

 

[philbar71]

pretty good. about 35c on idle and the ram sits at 27c. load i have never seen the gpu over 45c.

Doesn't look too bad, pretty good idea, I never would have thought about it .

How did you find out the temps of the vram?

 

[aspire]

Good idea, though the actual implementation was a bit rough.

 

[Burn]

its a bit easier to do with a 4870/90. the actual gpu heatsink is separate from the rest of the assembly

about the vram - most of the newer gpu's display core temp as well as mem temp in rivatuner/gpuz/any other gpu temp monitoring program

like burn said, it has temp monitors on the vram.

i know it does look a little rough doesnt it? i only had like an hour to do it before i went to a lan kindve wish i had done a little better, and possibly re painted the heatsink.

Ah ok, thanks guys. GPU-Z only shows the core temp for me .

I may have to give that a try once I get my WC setup figured out and up and running.
