Cooling Water cooling an Nvidia GTX 570

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to buy a GTX 570 and watercool it.

I want to get a "full cover"? waterblock that will cool both the memory and GPU Core in one, and for this I need a reference design 570.

Can anyone tell me

1) Which GTx570 is based on a reference design (and how you know this, as its proving pretty hard to find this info myself.

2) Which "full cover" waterblock do you recommend / are on sale. I've seen a few such as:

http://www.thewatercoolingshop.co.u...for-gtx-580-and-gtx-570-gf110-g1-4-23515.html
and
http://www.aquatuning.co.uk/product..._Watercool-HEATKILLER--GPU-X--GTX580-570.html
But they are always very low on stock.

Thanks,
-Des

 

that heatkiller block is supposed to be very good block, although there having problems at the moment, my personal preferance is one of EK's block this one is good http://www.scan.co.uk/products/ek-fc580-gtx-nickel-gpu-block, although I prefer the acetal + nickel version, which scan don't seem to have in stock at the moment,

you could also try out the ek cooling configurator http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/

Appreciate the quick response, I just love these forums.
That's great advice, I'll digest this and let you know any follow-ups.

 

Won't evga stand by the warranty if you put a block on it?

 

ah good point, i believe they do, and a 10 year warranty, so scratch that get the evga one, but try and get it on a today only deal. Also get 20 posts on here and you'll get free delivery from scan
