El_Capitan Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) This fella did it with his, but not in SLI: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=127555 Anyways, I ordered the parts, and will also be upgrading my MCR220 to the MCR420: Two Swiftech MCW80 Universal GPU water-blocks Two Swiftech G80 Brackets for MCW80 Two 40mm Scythe Chipset Fans It'll be a while until all my parts arrive, but it gives me time to figure out how I want to set-up my tubing. First thing would be to remove the huge GTX 460 fans and drill new holes in the G80 brackets. Then I'd place the MCW80's on the brackets and attach the 40mm Scythe Chipset fans over the memory. I'll have to figure out the best way to attach them to the cards. I'll update when things start happening. In the meantime, where would you get that kind of mounting that guy used to attach his 40mm fans? Probably at a local hardware store? UPDATE: Interestingly enough, I think the guy at techpowerup was using a different card. I didn't need the G80 Brackets, I used the ones that came with the MCW80 GPU blocks and drilled 2 new holes and that was good enough. See sig.

I suppose you could use some nylon washers and all thread attached to the card then cut the metal tabs to hold the fan.

MxGladiator Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) I think I would have tried something like this if it where me. But its the same idea overall. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835119097&cm_re=vga_fan-_-35-119-097-_-Product Edited September 22, 2010 by MxGladiator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Finally got it done when all the parts arrived! I put in new coolant, and max CPU temps went down 4C. I love the max GPU temps only reaching 43C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
