465 cooling mod

[PP Mguire]

I think I'm going to try and mod my H50 on my GTX 465 and use stock cooling on my 2500k to try and keep my OC cool.

Any ideas?

Is the base of the H50 big enough to fully cover the 465? I haven't taken apart a 465 but the GTX 260/280's I've taken apart were quite a bit bigger than my 2500k.

I got it all apart, and I'm 99% sure it will work, but I realized I don't have any TIM here

I've seen this before.

You just need some thing to make a mounting plate with... The just bolt it on.

I'll look for what i had seen.

Lol that's too much work. I'm just going to use zip ties until the new Arctic GPU closed loop comes out.

Lazy botch.. But you do need tools, but it did look pro though.

Well if I wanted to spend the money to invest in a Dremel, metal, the bits needed (don't forget the broken ones needing to be replaced) all for one project that is supposed to be cheap then I might as well buy a 470 full cover water block and add it to my loop so my CPU can be cool too.

I wanted to do this as a cheap solution to this heat problem I'm having and just use a stock cooler on my CPU.

Yha i know.. if you have the stuff it'd be a great mod.

I have everything, except my TIM is still 45 minutes away in our old house.
