Gigabyte GPU Water Block

I'm starting to seriously consider building a water cooled rig for folding as I run it almost 24/7 now and need to keep the temperatures down for longevity of the system. I currently use a Gigabyte R9 280X rev 2.0 which, annoyingly, has a custom PCB and it's almost impossible to find a full cover water block.

Does anyone else have this GPU and know of or use a full cover water block for it? If I can't find one I'll swap it for a MSI or ASUS model which I know have full cover block available.

 

Don't think there is a full block available for it. Only other option would be Kraken G10 + AIO

 

Think I may sell my Gigabyte card and replace it with an MSI then, to match my MB (yes, I'm OCD) and then enable water cooling.

When I have two in CrossfireX, of course...

 

You could try the custom option at Alphacool. Links to Alphacool in article.

 

As Big Elf said send it to Alphacool

Looks like they're one step ahead of me. And it looks the nuts!

 

Yeah they are nice blocks i used 2 of them in my demo rig

 

Time to swap my case for a more water cooling friendly case I think. Mainly want a loop for cooling 2 GPUs and leaving my CPU on it's AIO Corsair H60.
