    I'm planning to water cool my 7800GT, but would like to use my Polarflo Universal GPU cooler, and I was wondering if there was any good chipset coolers designed for the 7800GT?

    Something of a one-piece nature preferred.

    Thanks :thumb:

    Alphacool and Aquacomputer have the one-block design for it. Try to have a look on their site as i dont have a link :D

    Thanks guys, but before I spend 125 bucks on a full NV-78 cooler, I want to see if there are any good passive coolers for the memory only so I can still use my current GPU waterblock.

    Something like the copper memory to this one for the nVIDIA 6 series:

    Well the 7800GT has the same ram layout as a 6800GT/U so if you can get that ramsink, it'll work. Not having used one I can't say for sure, but the 6800GT at least would let you leave the stock ramsinks on and fit a waterblock just to the core.

    I belive that ramsink is from the stock cooler... I've seen similar designs on nvidia cards before

    a GT doesn't come with a separate ram cooler as shown above... only the GTX does.

    just get a few ramsinks and a dangerden maze4 GPU to cool it, unless the ram needs cooling.

    That ramsink in the pic doesn't come with the stock 6800 or 7800 coolers. It's way prettier than the stock ones.

    I would suggest finding some Tweakmonster ramsinks. Glue them on with Arctic Silver adhesive, and they'll keep your ram nice and cool.

    And, both the GT and GTX have one-peice GPU and ram coolers. The 6800 GT and Ultra have seperate coolers which should fit a 7800 GT/GTX, but they'll probably need airflow to be cool enough to work.

    The ramsinks and waterblock pictured above is a package deal from coolermaster. The water block and ram sinks come in one kit and are quite cheep actualy. I belive less than 30bux for the unit. You could buy a regular maze4 gpu block and buy the coolermaster setup and use the sinks from the package. Would be cheeper than a 7800 block.

    Nice... If I had a 6/7800, I'd be getting one of those. As it is, my X700 already has ramsinks.

    Maybe when I upgrade...

    Thanks for the help, I've ordered the coolermaster set. I'll repost if it works one way or the other.
