I want the 7970 wb that cools the vrm with water, i like the koolance, but dont see that it acitvley cools vrams, the only ones that i see do are EK and aquacomputer.

Do you guys know if the aquacomputer, ek, and the koolance cools vrams? Id think the koolance does but cant find for sure anywhere.

Thanks

I use ek and they cool vrm's

does koolance anyone know?

They all do except xspc and v1 alphacool. However, they don't all cool the vrms to the same level.

koolance does as well. i have mine running for about a month now, its pretty good. My vrm is sitting at 54celcius under load in crysis 3. With clock speed of 1200/1800 1.18v/1.6v.

so which wb cools the best? Not koolance? I was kinda thinking this one, anyone try this? http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=33831

it looks very nice. what do you guys recommend? Other then EK? there kinda ugly. I can do aqua, alpha or koolance. unless EK is much better

Watercool also makes the Heatkiller series for 7970s.
Comes in copper or nickel plated copper versions.
I use these blocks on my two 7970s.

So koolance and aqua computer cool vram GPU and voltage regulator with water?

 

[rdr09]

in a normal installation, you won't see the gpu block after install. i'd get the best performing one combined with the best thermal paste and pads.

Which is the best performing ?

The ek. It has the best balance of core and vrm temps vs flow. The difference in core temps from the top brands is minor 1-2c so the difference maker is their vrm cooling and flow characteristics.

i was going to suggest - ask tsm106.
