Cooling I need a 6600GT water block

im about to install my first water cooling kit and am looking for a good block for my GFX card and if i use a universal block will i need to put heatsinks on the ram on th card

 

Might wanna put if its AGP or PCI-e, since it actually makes a difference with the 6600gts.

 

oh yeah i forgot that its AGP and its made by sparkle

 

The AGP cards have the AGP bridge chip to cool too which is something else to take into consideration.

 

When I watercooled my XFX AGP 6600GT, I used the Swiftech MCW-50 waterblock. It required me to modify the hold down to clear the bridge chip, but otherwise looks good. Swiftech has released a new version which might have an altered hold down.

Here is a picture of the modification and installation:






My temps haven't broken 50c yet, even after hours of BF2.

If you do some research on this card, it looks as though >70c on Air can be normal.

Just my opinion though.

The maze 4 block should work on the 6600gt but I would consider making a larger custom heatsink for the bridge or maybe making a waterblock for it.

FYI my card dosent go over 41c load 39idlel even though I have a presscott in the loop but its a pci-e card that dosent need a bridge. Consider maybe getting one of those pci card coolers and undervolting them for silence.

 

ok then ut are there no specific coolers for this card

 

if you are going small bore... i.e. 8/6mm or 10/8mm then Aquacomputer do a specific 6600GT AGP all-in-one GPU and memory cooler.

 

Living in the states, I had never heard of that water block J-Pepper. That is one nice looking piece of hardware.

I've got an aquacomputer 6600 AGP block that I'm trying to get rid of (water + 6600 = teh bad -> new 6800), pm or mail me if you're interested...

 

cool will it fit my 6600gt and how much do you want

 

emailed you...
