Default Quick Q, 8800ultra block

Hi.
Sorry if this is posted elsewhere.

I need to know which blocks fit the Ultra and the general opinion of which is best. No Aluminum though

Danger Den and Ek both make nice full cover blocks. Most times they are listed as the 8800 GTX block but they fit both.

You could also go with a GPU block and ram sinks like from swiftech or D-tek. http://www.petrastechshop.com/gpwa.html

Yeah, I would recommend getting the MCW60

and some ramsinks or perhaps the dtek unisink version 2 (which I know fits the GTX, but I'm not sure about the Ultra, but they are the same, so it should fit)

Cool. That looks the same as my cpu block. So I know it works
Are ram sinks enough to cool OC'd ram?

They are plenty. Ram doesn't generate too much heat, but it still can fry itself if uncooled. However, it doesn't take much to dissipate the heat. Besides, we wouldn't use/recommend them if they didn't work.

I can't speak for FC blocks, but universal (mcw60s) blocks are nice because well they work on every card and will work in the future unlike full coverage specific card blocks...

On the average, a single gpu block will cool better than a full coverage since it's only cooling the dye and not the entire PCB.

Its like <43C idling, but they're in sli in the same loop as my quad (which is loaded right now at ~60C. They don't hit 50C under load though.

Thanks for that DR4GON. good to know. I have only been looking at the full cover blocks until I posted today.
I will have a look for the ram sinks now as the blocks seem pretty straightforward.

Oh and thanks owner.
