660ti sli water cooling

I read on a forum saying that water cooling a 660ti is a bad idea?  Didnt say anything about SLI. Anywhere I can get a waterblock and backplate?  Any ideas on what I should do?

People say its a bad idea because its not a top end card.. personally i think its a fine idea if thats what you want look for a nice ekwb full cover block, check out coolingconfigurator.com and it can point you in the right direction

Doesn't sound like a bad idea however will you be gaining a huge performance hit with dual gtx 660 ti's? Think although Linus shows that dual sli's 660 ti vs 680 overcomes it most of the time  I think that you should hold on with air-cooling although its your choice but I think you've got the patience to wait till either AMD hawaii series of gpu's of maybe when prices have come down and 800 comes out buy a 700 series of cards

People think its a bad idea because they aren't the best cards at this point and could be a waste of time and money if you are going to upgrade in the near future. If you are happy with the performance and like the looks then go for it.

go to frozencpu.com they have an epic range and from what I can tell good prices. Only thing to keep in mind is that it will make diagnosing dead components trickier, but if you feel the need go for it. should be sweet

Great thank you for the feedback guys.  I get very good performance with it, but I dont think I will be upgrading the gpu too soon, not only that... if I do upgrade my video cards I can just swap em out and use the same tubes on the cards and buy a new backplate and waterblock with the money from selling the 660ti's... thank you for confirming my gut feeling, I will have to find a waterblock for them.  any site ideas to find cool ones?

depends on make/manufacturer/model. you can check here for a quick reference.

 

dunna know for gaming, but for posting/editing SLI 3GB 660ti cards are functional.

same CUDA count as 670, shorter memory bus, and scale pretty good. so if you are

looking to water-cool them, easy-peasy blocks available. standard "short" cards using

the GTX670 blocks, the non-reference use mainly the GTX680, but be careful, not all

are block-able.

 

worked out in my build, but since have moved to GTX780 cards and possibly LGA2011.
