Default (Pics)**TT Tide Water VS Zalman VF 900cu, help

I did the volt mod on my 7900GT last night and I need extra cooling for gpu. I like both of these, and Cannot decide which to choose. I would think the Tide water would cool better, but what about the mosfets? Do they need cooled also. The Zalmen comes with mosfet HS's, the tidewater does not. I guess I could get some HS's to put on, but what do you guys think?

The tidewater is water cooling - so it will have its advantages. I would say, Get the tidewater and get some mosfet HS's and stick those on too.

I agree with Jester. Get the TT Tide Water and get some mosfet HS.

If you get the TideWater, make sure you keep us updated as to how it's working. Also, make sure you can fit it inside your case. It sits on 2 PCI slots.

If the Tide water is good enough - then I may spend the extra on cooling when I (hopefully) get my 7900.

Keep us updated

I'd say get the vf900... it's quite a bit cheaper and it'll take up much less space! I just got a couple in the mail today and they are supurisinly small!

I'm a bit late but why don't you order the artic nv silencer 5 rev 3? Quite cheap, just needs a small amount of modding

My Tidewater is already installed and cooling, quite well might I add. Thanks though.
