I just bought an EVGA GeForce GTX285 Superclocked Edition and im looking to watercool it. I just got out of a crazy annoying situation with ATI and not being able to fit my waterblock on any of their cards because of a change in board design so now im being extra careful. Which waterblock should I get for this, and which will cool the best. I usually buy EK waterblocks if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance for any help.

There are actually 2 different pcb revisions for the gtx 285. You have to make sure you buy the correct block for the card.

I've got the Heatkiller GPU-X² and absolutely love it.

Check your board revision, you can find this by looking at the underside of the card when it arrives. Near the middle you'll see an FCC logo and some small text to the right of it. If you see P891 you've got revision 1, P892 means revision 2. The block I linked (and purchased) fits the revision 2 card.

Thats what I got and love it. Running SLI and the cards idle at around 30c and they are overclocked to 740/1620/1440. They dont go above 50c running Vantage or 3D Mark06.

Look @ Aquacomputers, They are full copper blocks. To me atleast, they are the first gpu water blocks that actually look good. The only 2 problems are that they are a german company which means Euros, which means paypal is like the only way to pay from here in the states. On the up side I got mine in five days and they ship via regular german post which transfers for USPS which is pretty good if you ask me. The second issue I ran into is SLi. If you plan on running SLi, you have to get the twinconnect plate since they don't natively support SLi with holes on both sides of the block or instead of the twinconnect you can run a bunch of constricting elbows. I saw them in SLi on this british guys sweet rig that I will give a link to. Ended up going with the twinconnect after doing the whole elbow thing for a bit.

EDIT: sorry I'm tired and I made a **** load of errors.

I have the same one and it looks so good! Makes me want SLI just looking at how well the ports line up on it!
