GigaByte GTX 460 waterblock ?

[JaRi]

Hello OCC!!

 

i have this card:

 

what waterblock does fit that card ?

EK and Koolance started to make full cover waterblocks for the GTX 460's. You will have to remove that VRM heatsink. http://www.amazon.com/EK-FC460-GTX-Acetal-Nickel/dp/B0045JHS8Y

 

A cheaper solution is to get a universal GPU block, like the Swiftech MCW 80 and drill two holes on the backplate. The VRM's on the GTX 460 1GB will be decently cooled by that heatsink.

you do see that this isn't a reference card, right ?

The GTX 460 full cover waterblock might work with non-reference cards, just have to look into it. Universal GPU blocks can work on any type of card, but only covers the GPU.

i have the http://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_info.php?products_id=2562 and it does not fit my card..

I never used the full cover waterblocks fot the GTX 460's. Too expensive, and not needed... and I had two that were non-reference (the MSI GTX 460 1GB Cyclones).
