Help with watercooling NB and SB (780i) - Overclock.net

jimbonbon · 05-18-09

Hey everyone!

So, i've recently installed my first bit of watercooling, and all is good so far. Very pleased with how its turned out.

However, I need some help regarding cooling the NB and SB (the mosfets I can do fine with some heatsinks). I have an NB block, and very nice it is too (EK). I also have an issue with where to put res and pump. I was planning on running a separate loop using smaller ID/OD tubing. However the problem i have is with the SB... its underneath the back end of my first GTX295, therefore i have very little space to do anything with it. I've emailed a few watercooling shops in the UK about this, but not had any response from one of them. Any help much appreciated!

On a side note, I want to replace a couple of the fans with fans that are a little more efficient for WCing. Need 120mm, and preferably green to be really picky! Any suggestions much appreciated.

Just for fun (and because i'm proud of it!), couple of pics below.

Excellent thanks, which are those mosfet blocks? I think i may have come across this a while back. The only problem i have is that I can't seem to find them in the UK anywhere, and was trying to avoid ordering from the US.

yes, they are mosfet blocks but you can use other alternative to cool those. I was just going for looks.

I have paypal, I can order them for you as soon as they go back on stock and ship them to you.

Cheers, I'll let you know. Am going to hunt around in the UK first and see if i can find them. Not had much luck so far though. Any recommendations as fans?

Nice setup btw!
