GPU Ghetto Watercooling

[LuckyCharm]

Is it possible to water cool a GTX 780 with an H60? What about an H60 that uses Corsair's proprietary mounting instead of an Asetec design? And just to complicate things only use zip ties? Behold!

 

 

I had to use old heatsinks to cover the RAM and power delivery. Here is how hot the card got after playing Witcher 3 at 1440p.

 

 

I have also flashed the card with the skynet bios. Unfortunately I still can’t change the voltage above 1.212. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Interesting Project. Would you recommend doing it?

Btw, what heatsinks did you use?

Now re-add the GEFORCE GTX LED and a fan to cool the heatsinks and you're done. 

 

Looks pretty neat anyhow.

That actually looks less ghetto than when i used the kraken g10 on my 760's because my vram cooling solution was to cut the original heatsink in half and use twist ties to hold it in place...

It seems pretty sketchy. but OP might have a different opinion

Only if you have a spare cooler that doesn't have the round asetek design. There are brackets made for this kind of thing but my cooler wasn't compatible so I went this route. You would also need something to cool the ram and power deliveries. You could use the stock coolers base plate but that was plastic and I thing the motherboard heatsinks do a better job. The good thing about this is that temps went down 30 degrees and it is much more quite.

Gigabyte mobo heatsinks I believe.

NZXT's G10 springs to mind, It would do the same job you are doing atm, but a bit more professionally

Is there any reasonable way to get at such without buying a Gigabyte mobo?

Find a dead board being sold on ebay as scrap.

Looks cool but will it not fall off?
