A 7770 doesn't output enough heat to warrant a water-block, so nobody's making them.

Lets put it this way, if you have to ask on forums because google didn't turn up any results, then the chances are very low.

| CPU: Intel i5 3570K @ 4.4GHz 1.26v | GPU: AMD R9 290X @ 1090MHz |

| RAM: 2x4GB Samsung Green @ 2133MHz OC |

| PSU: Corsair RM850 | Case: Fractal Design Define R4 |

He obviously wants to completely silence his 7770.

You can always try a universal block like the MCW82?

Make sure dimensions are right before you buy, but again only universal blocks will work and there aren't many that small mate.

Watercooling 7770's is really unnecessary. You're better off spending the $200 on better GPU's with after market cooling. The 7770's will not OC as much anywhere near what you expect them to, they're not designed for that.

My Current Build:

  • 5.0GHz i7-3770k Processor
  • Asus Maximus V Formula Z77 Mobo
  • SLI Asus DCUII 670's Watercooled
  • 120GB Corsair Force GT3 Boot SSD
  • 1TB WD Caviar Black HDD
  • 16GB 1866MHz 9-10-9-27 G.Skill Ripjaws Z Memory
  • 1050w Seasonic 80+ Gold
  • Caselabs M8
  • Windows 7 64 bit
  • Samsung Blu-Ray Combo Drive
  • Creative Recon 3D Sound Card
  • XSPC Raystorm CPU Waterblock
  • Dual 360mm UT60 Rads
  • 15 Yate Loon Medium fans
  • Yamakasi Catleap Monitor (1440p)
  • Sennheiser HD 598

Don't do it. Sell your 7770 and buy one better card and one waterblock.

to know the face of Dodge is to know madness

Take a look at what I’ve been watching…

Seen as you're planning on getting a second HD 7770, why not sell your current and use the money that you were going to use for the second HD 7770 on a new card like the HD 7850 or HD 7870 if you can get it for cheap -- you'll be able to find a block for a HD 7850 or HD 7870 no bother.

Why would you watercool 7770's? That's a real waste. Anyway

You could always make your own in Solidworks or something similar and then have them made out of aluminium (and copper if you'd want to)

Somewhat like this:

This is just a quick draft I made a few months ago and it isn't specifically designed for one graphics card, it doesn't have any holes to mound it to the pcb etc (doesn't have a lid either)

But just an example.

Why anyone would buy a water block for a 7770 is beyond me, if the waterblock costs more than the GPU then you need to re-arrange your priorities, but anyways yeah you might be able to find one, but just buy a higher end card with good cooling and you probably wont need to water cool it and they are virtually silent these days

Think of it this way (I'm making prices up because idk where you live)

7770 - $100

7770 - $100

universal waterblock - $70

universal waterblock - $70

total $340

how much GPU could the theoretical $340 buy you? maybe even a HD7950? IDK.

Not on all games, I got less performance some games. It has to be optimize for xfire or sli for performance gain/boost for example: lotro single gpu 67 fps, dual 23fps... its depressing

Corsair 500r White - Sabertooth 990FX - FX8150 @ 4.6Ghz - Gskill Sniper 1866 - XFX Double D 7970

Creative Recon3D Fatal1ty - OCZ Vertex3 120GB - WD Black 2TB - Ultra X4 Modular 850w PSU
