Looks good, and I think the x800's are the same card design, so no probs there, excet thwe price is a little high, but I did say I did not care, just not expecting to pay 130 dollars for a waterblock.
Does anyone know what the highest overclock is for the X800's edition of cards(That includes x850 PE XT PRO LE)

well, you really don't need a full-cover waterblock because the ram chips only put about 2w of heat a peice, and secondly, the danger den maze 4 (or any core-only block) doesnt cover the ram - it leaves plenty of room for you to put ramsinks on it - if the ramsinks you have are too tall, you can simply cut them down to fit under the barbs on the water block


but my recommendation would be the danger den maze4 w/ acetal top, plus some OCZ copper BGA ramsinks - as long as you have air circulating/moving around the card, the ramsinks will keep the ram plenty cool


then for the pump - people recommended the Laing D4 a couple times - there's a new revision of this pump marketed by swiftech (just came out for retail a couple weeks ago), its called the MCP-655 - it has more pressure head, a speed dial (nothing special - you should keep it at full speed), but most importantly, the motor has been completely redesigned, so its DEAD SILENT (no more buzzing/humming sound like the D4/MCP650) - sidewindercomputers.com stocks them, and they retail for ~$68

feel free to ask any other questions

Thats strange, seeing on Koolance's website their block fits all the x800's but Im not so sure, so ill trust you.

Also, The problem with the small tubing is a cut in overall circualtion, putting more stress on the pump. Could I not add a second pump, of equal strength, in a push-pull configuration before and after the block. This would help circulation and security, if one fails, I still have circulation.

well, besides just having small tubing, they're made out of aluminum, which will give you half-assed performance in the first place, but the worst part of that is the fact that it'll cause galvanic corrosion in your system if you have anything copper in the loop

because of this, if you ask me, the risk of damaging other components in your system from corrion is too great to justify buying a aluminum water block, just to have a full-cover block

Best point yet, and it now makes sense not to have full cover, since there is not anything in 1/2 od, which seems to be the most common large diameter, so out of the following choices, or if you have a better suggestion, which would yeild the best performance?

http://www.dangerdenstore.com/produc...&cat=47&page=1
DD brass block

http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swifmcgpucoo1.html
Swiftech Copper Block

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835106059
Yeah, its a smaller block, but maybe someone can give me a good opinion


The rest are for memory heatsinks, so it is a little off topic, but it it better than starting a new thread.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...126-051&depa=0
Someone said bga, were they talking about these?

http://www.buyextras.com/vacovicamehe.html
These look ok

http://www.pcextreme.com/catalog/sku/ram-07.html
I have seem a couple of people with these

http://www.chiefvalue.com/app/produc...-108&ATT=&CMP=
Dont look too bad

Bear in mind, these are probably not some of the best stores, but kust to give ya an idea at what I am looking at.
