Watercooled system for x1800 crossfire set up

[DRDNA]

I just received a quote from a .com vender for $330.00 for the whole system ,that was with the fancy waterbock that covers the ram as well.....Well needless to say I feel this is too high and will wait for a vapochill unit that has option for two GPU's.

If any one knows of a better priced water system for dual GPU then please give the price and link if possible

Why don't you get your own parts from Danger Den and get 2 GPU waterblocks for you CrossFire setup? It will probably be in the mid 200's.

Definitely build your own setup. You can run regular Maze 4 GPU blocks as that board has plenty of room to do that. You lose PCI slots, but I am guessing that is not an issue. Right now, my slave card is water cooled and I am working on getting a block for the master. I have my CPU and one GPU in my loop and my temps are great. I am just going to add the second GPU into my loop. Get a high flow pump and if possible a heatercore radiator. I used regular aluminum heatsinks on the ram as I feel the copper ones are a waste. It is definitely worth the trouble to water cool. My watercooled card idles around 32C and maxxes out around 48C.

Thank yo for the feed back !!! I really do want to watercool the cards but the blocks that watercool the ram also are said to be restrictive .

Yeah, skip those blocks completely. My watercooled GPU usually runs at lower temps loaded too, I just figured I'd list the highest temp I have seen since puttign on water cooling. Look around and post what parts you are looking at and I can help you pick.
