Cheap X800 Liquid Cooling
Hi there, I am new to this site but would like advice on a liquid cooling system idea for my X800 Pro. I will use the
Koolance VID-AT1-V06 ATI X800/X850 Video Water Block
http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?product=604566
Coolermaster Aquagate (Big) Water Cooling System
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=140732
Will this kit work together?, by using the Coolermaster Aquagate as a GPU Cooler rather than using it as a CPU cooler? I’ve looked in the kit and the only thing I noticed is that the LCU pipes are 6.5MM and the X800 coolers pipes are 6MM. will these not just stretch a bit to fit?? Not has any experience with water cooling but since I did the 16pipes Bios flash my card runs at 85c when playing BF2 and other graphical games even with the Arctic 4 Cooling Silencer unit fitted. Now I know you can run at 85c, which is fine, but I have read that the card will last much longer if you get the temp down. As the kit I have chosen to make will only cost £93.74 (plus £? p+p) I think it would be worth it. Advice on this build would be very much appreciated.
