I got a Koolance EXOS

I was thinking of getting this waterblock for my card since it cools the GPU and the RAM ( it runs so hot!) :

looks really nice and its made to fit the 5900 series (which is basicly the same layout ..) but do you think i should go for this instead :

no ram cooling on that one which is a major minus but i could always get some copper ram heatsinks for it.

Thoughts anyone?
 
actually if you want to save a lot of trouble i believe the BFG water block model will mount right up to a koolance.. dangerdens are exellent though
 
looks nice but it isn't out til late july early august :( but its cool that it cools the RAM as well i really DON'T want to buy a core cooler and just use passive heatsinks for the ram .. i feel that wouldn't be helping me any considering this ram runs very hot. i know for a fact that the core isn't much hotter than the FX 5950 but the ram is what cooks it.

Just run your GT stock until it comes out, then get upgrade and get a boost :)
 
i don't think he was saying thats its better than the dangerden .. just better than the innvotek coolfx thats made for 5900 fx series cards .
 
that dangerden thing is awesome... channels for the ram then a maze for the gpu...
 
what really is a water block and how exactly does it work? I have seen heat sink or cooling fan, is this water block works in conjunction w/ those?
