GPU block as CPU block?

[ekuest]

what are yoour thoughts on this? im tired of this huge dtek fuzion limiting my sff plans. its like 2 inches tall, and then the tubes go out the top making it effectively taller. i have a nice little EK vga-supreme block i want to use instead. its not likei need the best block, and even the best only perform like 5C better than the worst. i figure i can make a mounting bracket pretty easily, and then have a nice low profile cpu block. is there any reason i shouldnt do this?

Maybe something like this would work? http://www.petrastechshop.com/dgfx2nv200se.html

I see you have a 9800...but hey an upgrade would never be a bad thing

actually what i meant was putting this EK vga block on my cpu. guess i wasnt clear enough. i bet temps wouldnt be more than 5C different from the fusion. im wondering if theres something im not considering.

as long as the base was big enough to accomodate, i don't see why it wouldn't work.

That's cause it does, in some cases.

as long as it can get good contact and you can mount it somehow then it will work.
