HELP! - GTX480 Waterblock Needed

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but I need some help...

 

For those of you who undoubtedly going to say I should sell the GTX480 and get a newer card, Please don't. I know the Fermi line of cards was a complete failure in terms of heat output and power consumption, but I have my reasons for buying it.

 

I recently bought a GTX480  and am looking to incorporate it in to my watercooling loop, however I cannot find a full cover waterblock anywhere relatively cheap in the UK. If anyone has one or knows if anybody else does I would greatly appreciate it (or even if you have a better place for me to post this).

 

I'm In the UK if anyone was wondering or hadn't realised yet. 

 

Cheers,

Max (JakeTheDog)

They are old cards, waterblocks will not come cheap. A new card would be a much better idea.

Basically I needed a cheap and cheerful upgrade and as NOBODY wants GTX480s any more they go for really cheap, and I realise that getting a newer card would befit me tenfold but it has the horsepower I need for the moment...

I think I might just go with a EK universal waterblock (which go for ~£40) with some VRAM and VREG heatsinks on it but I'll see...

Thanks for the replies guys!
