*** Water Cooling***New Block***

I upgraded my ole Swiftech block.
With one that Swiftech makes for the i7 chip.
Did it make a difference?...... O YEAH.....
10C+ cooler on OCCT Limpack with 90% of memory loaded.
Its the Apogee GT/Z water block......
I've included some pic's of the Apogee water bloch.
I also was going to put the N-bridge under water.
But the water block that I picked UP @ Computer store, doesn't work!
I'll have to order one off of the net.
Did the New Water block let me clock higher? yes!
But for 24/7 the 44gig oc stable, cost a payment of to high of voltage.
Also here are some benchies of new water block under load.
I new this water system had more cooling in it......
I've also posted this in another thread......
On the left is the ole block temps and on the right are the new block temps...

Re: *** Water Cooling***New Block***

I just ordered the Swiftech N-bridge water block..
It looks just like my cpu Swiftech block, but smaller.
A nice looking block...
Here's a pic of the block...

Re: *** Water Cooling***New Block***

Received N-Bridge Swiftech block today was all evening tearing rig down.
I now have the N-bridge unwater..
Temps before N-block was 45C on oc'ed cpu.
Now it 37-38C a 7-8C difference in temps...nice!
I now have cpu, N-bridge, and video card, in a water loop.
Adding the N-bridge to the loop caused no gain it temps on cpu or video card.
I have a triple rad with 6 120mm fans,
Three in front, and 3 to the other side, a push/pull deal.
I most likely could add another water cooled video card without a problem..

Very Nice Skully, I was wondering how much stuff you could put in one loop, sounds like you have plenty of radiator! :cheesy:

Thanks bud, yeah I was wondering myself, about the loop limits.
I'd say one more device, hopefully...

Thanks Jerry, I'm just glad that adding to the loop, didn't up the temps.
