waterblocks!

[(G{in}[AK)TION]]

im trying to find a water blocks for my 7950 and r9 280x. 

to be specific, i have an 

1. MSI Radeon 7950 MSI R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5/OC

2. Sapphire Radeon R9 280x DUAL-X BF4 edition.

the 7950 is on the pc bench with a core 2 duo (mining and linux games) and the 280x is in my main computer that has an nzxt source 210 case and a core i5 cpu that i am thinking of getting water cooled as well...if i can fit enough in there. i am willing to have the pump and/or radiator outside.

 

summer is coming up so i was thinking water cooling may help.

MSI 7950 - http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/step1_complist?gpu_gpus=946

 

Sapphire 280X - Nope. There is no block for it. You can go with a universal block, but meh.

i did find this >> http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16992/ex-blc-1220/EK_VGA_Supremacy_Universal_High_Performance_VGA_Cooling_Block_-_Nickel_EK-VGA_Supremacy_-_Nickel.html

 

but i dont know if that would even work since i have to cool the VRM and memory. im assuming that would be considered a "universal water block" correct? do you know where i can get the heatsinks to cool the VRM and memory?

That is a universal block.

 

As for the VRM cooling, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835708008 I believe these should work, but I would ask @Ghost or someone else more proficient in watercooling than myself for help.

Other manufacturers also make universal GPU blocks so you should definitely have a look at those.

 

Your watercooling retailer should sell heatsinks for VRM/RAM. But make sure you attach heat sinks everywhere that there would be heat pads attached to if the stock heatsink was on, otherwise those components will burn out. There will be no warning of it burning out in most cases.

just checked the card again and realized that the heatsinks have the VRM already taken care of. so now i need to find ramsinks for the memory. but do i really need to cool the memory? they are and have been at stock speeds since day one. the only thing i overclocked was the gpu to 1050mhz. anything higher and it crashes.

You MUST cool the memory, if you use a universal block. The chip itself cannot be cooled passively. I am pretty certain you will also need VRM heatsinks. Even if a plate covers the VRM chips that plate also needs to be cooled.

well from the looks of it here, they look pretty tight down on the VRM. and i have a fan on the side of the case that blows air on the card.

here is what i found so far. this list is going to make me look like a fan boy prob..

now im trying to find the tubes and fittings that i can use to put these parts together. currently trying to find see through tubes and compression fittings. dunno if they would work as well as the barbs though...

[(G{in}[AK)TION]]

still looking on fittings. i dont know if they would even fit all the blocks, rad, and res i am planning on getting.

If everything says g1/4 it will fit. Most stuff is g1/4 anyways
