Waterblock for GTX 760?

[Root]

So I have been looking into water cooling my computer for a while now. I have been searching for a while and can't find a full cover waterblock for my Gigabyte Windforce GTX 760 2GB Rev 2, which seems to be a common problem since a lot of people have this problem as well. The only thing I can find are universal ones that won't work for me and don't want to take that much of a risk watercooling each chipset or whatever when I can get one waterblock to cool everything.

 

Is there any waterblock that is made for my video card? Any advice would be helpful.

AFAIK there are no Full Cover Waterblocks made for the 760. There is not really a point in putting a 760 in a loop since the water cooling loop itself with cost more than the 760.

The windforce uses a non-ref pcb which means there aren't likely to be any waterblocks available

A 760 has the same layout as a 670 in my knowledge. Try using coolingconfigurator.com and choose the appropriate GPU you have and see the results.

I was just going to ask about that. The only full non-reference block I've seen is for the EVGA ACX 760's by Alphacool. Haven't seen any others in my search (I was thinking of watercooling my 760's).

760s run pretty cool as it is, so there isn't much point in watercooling them

I was looking into water cooling my current system later this summer. I already have a GTX 760 and thought I mine as well water cool it if I decide to water cool my system. Also, this loop was also going to be a bit "future proof" since if I ever upgrade my system later on, I would just have to change the CPU and GPU blocks.

Plus, that didn't really anwser my question. Why shouldn't I add it to a loop? Because the loop will cost more than the GTX 760 which I already own?

The Windforce Rev 1 has a waterblock for it but Rev 2 doesn't. Probably because rev 1 used a reference PCB while rev 2 didn't.

Already checked that site. No waterblocks for rev 2.

That may be true but why not. Especially since the cost of the GPU waterblock wouldn't be costing my anything (getting ~$100 back from my income tax return and I would use that money for the waterblock).

EDIT: It's the same as watercooling the RAM. Why would you do it? Besides overclocking the RAM there isn't much difference.

I was planning on it anyways. Hence why I made a thread asking my question.

I don't know about non-reference boards, but I have the EK 670 full cover block that fits my MSI 760.

 

Thats the thing with non-reference, you will sometimes struggle finding compatible waterblocks.

I think what were trying to say is wait until you get a new video card to watercool... The guy above said that there really isn't a block for a 760 because you're spending more on the cooling than the card. TBH your 760 doesn't need it and it's a pain to take apart a custom loop to add another card. I think the best option is to wait to watercool until there's a point. Your logic is why not? Let me put this bluntly, its stupid. You will just end up having to drain and refill your loop and most likely buying new blocks in the future. 

 

The only thing watercooling will do for you now is to cost you money that doesn't need to be spent and making it a pain in the future because you will need to buy new blocks and drain and refill.

 

Just my opinion.

I agree with Jodomcfrodo, watercooling a gtx 760 will cost almost half the card with a block unless you buy a used block. I know that the gtx 660 and 670 blocks fit in the 760, but not sure about a WF edition. If you weren't going for a custom loop the nzxt g10 might fit. i would suggest waiting for a better card or upgrading to a gtx 780 and then throwing it into your loop. It becomes a real hassle to switch and drain custom loops. Not to include you would have to sell out a gtx 760 and the block, etc.

Don't worry about the cost, if we all did that, life would be pretty boring, if you can find blocks to suit, go for it.
