Posted May 30, 2015 Hi,I am looking into watercooling my Gigabyte GTX 960 4gb G1 Gaming GPU. I was wondering if the waterblock for the 2gb model will work with the 4gb model. Any help is greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 30, 2015 What about the location of the vram on the pcb? The same, but there are most likely extra memory chips in the 4GB model.

Posted May 30, 2015 Author Ok, I won't watercool the card, I probably couldn't have if I wanted to, seeing that no waterblocks exist for this card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 3, 2015 No it wouldn't. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_960_SLI/23.html Why would anyone spend to watercool midrange GPUs? he has the 4gb version, it has more memory to play with, so a bit better performance for aesthetics... if you already have a loop you could always go with those "universal block" like the XSPC Raystorm or the EK-Thermosphere...

I know a guy who is doing a "cheap" water cool build so he uses the cheapest pc parts that look nice, because he has no use for the PC. he just wants to see what he can do by taking his time and making it look the way he wants. too bad he has even finished it in over a year because he ran into issues on his main rig. if you want to annoy me, then join my teamspeak server ts.benja.cc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
