NVIDIA 7900gt / ATI 3850 = same waterblock?

[whrswoldo]

I had a 7900gt which was watercooled using a DD (maze4?) waterblock although I have recently replaced it with an ATI 3750 card. I noticed that the 2 cards appear to have very similar mounting screw holes surrounding the GPU and I was wondering if I could use the same block I used on my 7900gt on the 3850. I have ramsinks for the memory, although it looks like I might want to buy some more for the mosfets?

If anyone has experience with this I'd appreciate some insight before I go voiding my warranty.

I don't think so. While the 4 holes might be the same, the holes around and the chips is different.

Swiftech's MCW60 works

Why did i say that Should drink a coffee before babbling this nonsense.

/me slap my own head on the desk...

Indeed, the Maze 4 will work fine

Sweet, looks like I'll try switching out the blocks this weekend. The stock cooling unit on the 3850 isn't very noisy, but it seems kind of silly to have the waterblock (which is still connected to my WC loop) just sitting on the bottom of the case. I guess I'll wait and see how hot the mosfets get before worrying about adding heatsinks to them.
