Can anyone tell me if there is a waterblock out there that will fit this card? I don't care about a full card one or anything, not even one specifically made for it even. Anythign universal that will work and will take 1/2" hose. Theres got to be someone out there with one.
 
while i am not that familier with the gs i can imagine that nvidia went away fromt ehir standard 4 hole mounting system, as such the maze 4, mc 60(or w/e forgot the name> should wokr
 
He said 1/2" hose...


Every water cooling thread someone posts some random Aqua computer block. :rolleyes:

Thats the problem, they did. While its still a 4 hole pattern, two of the holes are moved in closer to the core. Thereby removing any chance of using a maze 4 or the like. It has to be something adjustable and I just havent seen anything I can use.
 
while i would not really feal safe doing it i suppose you could get away with only using the screws for the holes they didnt move
 
Well I couldnt really do that since the two holes are on the same side of the chip. This makes the mounting pattern a rectangle as opposed to the normal square setup.

Although I did make progress finding one that would fit. This is adjustable to fit the width between the two furthest holes (about 2.5"). Only problem is, its OOS.
 
while it doesn't meet your hose size requirements, the koolance gpu-180 blocks all fit the 7800gs perfectly. their chc-a05 also will mount the hsi chip successfully. I suppose you could split 1/2" to two 1/4", go to the hsi and the core, and then rejoin. That is exactly what I did when I had that card, and I used the blocks mentioned. it idled at about 36 and loaded at about 41 with a decent dangerden setup at 490/1400 :)
