I'm wondering if there is any waterblock that will work with my EVGA GTX 680 Classified since there are no hydro coppers available and if it really neccesary to watercool it?

i have a corsair 650d case

what would i need to do the card and cpu ( intel i7 3770k) i have a $400 budget and was looking at swifttech gear any suggestions????

im not sure if there are any full block water blocks that will fit the card, however you could get a universal block like the EK VGA-Supremacy and then air cool the rest of the card

You'll need to know the diameter of the gpu to see if it will fit

No Hydro copper eh?

The problem is, there is no stock on those... anywhere...

As for a uni block - I would advise against it. You cannot just "air cool" the rest - you need heatsinks for your VRM and memory chips and direct airflow. I have similar for my 6870's - but swiftech also made a complete ram block to go with it and fan mounts, so wasn't to bad - but doesn't look the greatest.

To custom cool a 680 (with uni block) and a 3770k, you be very hard pressed to put together a solution for $400... at least one that give you decent temps anyways. :)
