hey, I'd try again, I just checked and their information/how-to site worked fine. I have a maze-4, but will that work on a 7800gtx?

I don't think a MAZE4 will be able to handle a GPU's heat output..I'd return it and get the 7800GTX block if I were you...

i was told it will, and the kit it came with says 7800 support,

the DD site has been down for days

Dude :***: The maze4 is perfect for the 7800, and it definatly is not hard to install....Now for a guide...I need to find one for ya. But dude, it is not hard to uninstall a heatsink off a videocard. No offence, but are you sure your ready for watercooling if you don't know how to takr off a heatsink? I don't want you to fry anything

Edit: does this work for you? http://dangerden.com/instructions/maze4_gpu.pdf

no im good, i can take it off fine, its just that the block came with like 3 different sets of parts, and im not sure, which one's to use or discard,

i think i can figure it out, looks pretty easy, here goes nothing

adas

Well, ok. U did buy ramsinks, right? well follow this, but to let you know you don't use any of the stock heatsink parts, exept that black rectangle heatsink to the rear of the card
Hmm, actually the dangerden guide is not too good, as it does not have the same mounting as the 6800/7800s...


Well, all you do is unscrew the screws on the card, take off the sink, then the ram plate, and then take off the white pads and the thermal paste on the core and mem, clean it with some alcohol and paper towel, then I believe that the maze4 comes with instructions...but if not, use common sense. Screw the 4 poles into the corners of the block, then put AS5 on the core, then slide the block with 4 poles through the card, barbs facing opposite of the pci-e slot. Then, turn the card around, and hold the block on there, then put the neoprane(black foam) on first, through the 4 holes, then next the plastic X, then plastic washer, then spring, then washer, then thumbscrew, and tighten in a opposite side pattern

Use which ones fit Anyway, I guess I underestimated the MAZE4, oh well. I dunno, the 7800GTX block covers the memory, and all that other stuff, so it works amazing...Cools memory and GPU at teh same time.

ya, thats exactly what im doing right now, its the only thing that made send, exept , i can't get all 4 off the poles to be used, it can only use 2, which is odd, oh well,
