    My X58 Build Log

    First Update: It's been a while since the initial post, but the project has not been forgotten. I've realized more and more the cost required for the project, so I've been unable to order the water cooling parts as of right now. Hopefully, I should be able to figure out something by the start...

    My X58 Build Log

    Thanks! I figured it would help to have some sense of urgency for the project. I saw this board while searching. I'll probably be going with that or one of the other classified versions as the E759 seems to be a bit harder to find but I like the evga boards. I'll still keep looking around for...

    My X58 Build Log

    TL;DR - I'm building a custom loop, 3-way SLI X58 desktop computer, and this is the initial post outlining the plans and goals of the build. Introduction: As someone who only had enough money to start building computers around the time the AMD Radeon RX 400 series launched, I had missed the...

    Help Finding GTX 260 Water Blocks?

    Not a problem. I only just recently thought about it. 99% sure that both BFG cards are reference design, and the cooler looks like what I remember. Below is a screenshot of a CAD model I made of a block to fit it, and it also looks correct (looks a little wide because it's in isometric view)...

    Help Finding GTX 260 Water Blocks?

    Hey, just curious if you were still willing to sell the 260s or if you had a chance to check out my other profile. Thanks!

    Not a problem, totally understand. I'll post my HardForum name on my Reddit profile. I'm in Wisconsin, unfortunately.

    Help Finding GTX 260 Water Blocks?

    Makes total sense. Unfortunately I don't have a heatware. I have some confirmed trades/purchases on Reddit's r/hardwareswap and on a skiing forum, Newschoolers, under the usernames a_scerba and a.scerba respectively, though. I realize that the names don't really have anything to do with my...

    Help Finding GTX 260 Water Blocks?

    arnemetis: Sorry I haven't been on for a while. School picked up, and I didn't have much time to hop back on. If you still have them, I'd definitely be interested. I'll shoot you a PM. Thank you! Edit: I can't seem to find a PM or message button. Probably because I don't have enough points or...

    Help Finding GTX 260 Water Blocks?

    Hello, I've been reaching out on various forums to hopefully get lucky. I recently got some old X58 era hardware and I wanted to do a custom loop with it for fun. I have 2 BFG Tech GTX 260s and a Gigabyte GTX 260. The only problem is that I am having trouble finding water blocks for them...
