| Quote: | | Designed to handle thermal loads as high as 320W, the MK-26 is a dual aluminum fin-stack heatsink, which uses six heat pipes to convey heat from a nickel-plated copper block. A pair of 140 mm fans (not included) can be attached to the heatsink. individual heatsinks for memory and VRM components are included; as are thermal pads and a tube of TIM. |

40mm fans.....what.....who the hell thought that would be a sufficient way to cool a card. Those things would have to run balls to the wall just to get any "decent" cooling in which case it'd be noiser than fuck.

Huh? Temperature isn't measured in watts, it's measured in kelvins or celsius (or farenheit)...

Not really.
MicroProcessors are Measured by power output. aka 2500k is 150W.
150W creates plenty of heat and it have to be dispersed somewhere

That one looks abit too big...I already have problem fitting 3 cards in my pc as it is. Might change them to watercooled though to both reduce space and lower the heat.
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

Yeah in comparison it's probably a bit larger than the Asus GPU's with their triple-slot cooler.

A good setup could probably compete with a water-cooler though likely not the high-end ones, a water cooler would also only cover the GPU itself would it not?
(Though I guess it depends on what's included with the unit, there are probably setups covering the RAM and VRM's as well.)
Unsure about noise levels (The radiator or pump probably makes some sound.) but with a Crossfire or SLI setup water-cooling would probably take less space between each card.
(Other than maybe the reference fully covered cooler on the mid and high end graphics card models.)

What is the current best aftermarket gpu fan cooler. I have a DD fan 7970 that keeps my temps at 72c under max load. Or is that an acceptable temperature?

It does take up less space - ive got a couple of mates who got it. I cant afford it myself yet though

Eh personally, once you go WC, you'll never go back to air. You can spend roughly 200 to get your CPU and video card under water with a 360 radiator which comes with 3 nice fans.
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_202_972&products_id=34962
That's one of the best kits you can get and the raystorm block is one of the best in watercooling. Then if you can't afford a full gpu block made specifically for your hard, you can just get a universal block that costs about 30-60 depending on what you get.

My current system is actually quieter going full water cooling than it was when I was just using my H50. I can hear some fans running but that's it. The pump running at max speed is dead silent.

It may not be their best radiator but it still does an amazing job. That is just the RS360 kit.
They've literally got a kit for just about everyones desire. The RX series comes with the thicker radiators. The EX comes with the D5 pump,

http://www.aquatuning.fi ??? They have the alphacool kits. |

Oh yeah forgot aquatuning completely, but isnt those coming from germany? That alphacool kit is very nice (360 one). Dunno how good the reservoir and pump is tho, XSPC one looks nice and compact.

It's a Laing pump, in other words, it's one of the best next to the D5. The Alpha cools works a lil bit the same way the XSPC does except the Alpha kit has the pump mount to the resevoir. The XSPC has the pump molded inside of it.

Yeah i noticed that the pump is mounted to the reservoir when i watched some video review. Might get now full watercooling soon (was thinking for summer first). For my needs Alphacool NexXxoS Cool Answer 360 DDC/XT kit for CPU, then for GPU alphacool block / backplate + 180mm radiator (which mounts nicely to front) + additional tubing and fittings. This would cost total of about 400€. Need to check out more, not sure if the pump can do this all?

All times are GMT + 1 Hour |
So i'd need 12 slots for my cards haha
