I recently got the Koolance EXOS (dont make any snide remarks I have no case room and it was my first shot at water) and am about to take advantage of the $300 compusa 6800 GT card. Anyways since I went to water mainly to eliminate noise I wanted to know if the Koolance VPU block will work with these cards (again.... most other blocks dont work well with Koolance) and if the system is powerful enough to handle both a P4 3.0 (default volt) and the GT.

These are the 2 GPU blocks on the egg

Im not exactly sure of the difference between the 2?


BTW my current card is a 9800 w/ a VGA Silencer on it
 
get the GPU-180-L06 it is the newer version. also i hope you get the cpu-300g cpublock for the cpu. i have the GPU-180-L06 block running on my 9800pro and the koolance system is cooling the NB and cpu and my temps never break 45C. i THINK the koolance block should be able to cool a 6800gt but i havent seen any attempt at watercooling a x800 or a 6800 so i dont know for sure.
 
you could try contacting koolance and/or the manufacturer of the 6800GT... they'd probably know pretty well. and the koolance should handle the heat load fine. however, i think the noise on the 6800GT isn't that bad, so you may want to hold off on the waterblock for it until you have heard it and drawn your own conclusions.

Should fit fine. The BFGTECH 6800 ultra with waterblock is using the koolance GPU-180-L06 block. Anyway yeah get the L06 block otherwise the tubing may hit the ramsinks and make them fall off =P.
