need cheap 7800gt h2o block

[TheoPetro]

i was looken around and i saw the danger den sli combo at frozen cpu http://www.frozencpu.com/ex-blc-236.html?mv_pc=302 but its 269.95!!! i know danger den is one of the best but are there any other blocks close to it in preformance that are less expencive? o they need to have 1/2 inch barbs too.

EDIT: found one at performance pcs http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/...=3659:ce1061bf4c1368f54798636fda5d2785 for 239

anything cheaper?

the coolers that also cool ram are stupid expensive...............

they also have more flow resistance

try either an acetal Maze4 from DD or the MCW55 (swiftech)

Anything that has good flow (if I were doing it, I'd go for 1/2 inch) and is made with a copper base.....I wish I could afford a Danger Den cooler that also covered the RAM...

Get the dangerden maze4 block and put some ram sinks on. Theres no point in watercooling ram, the price you pay for it isn't work the measly extra 1-5mhz overclock return.

What he said. For the price it's hard to beat a Maze4.

I think the cheapest you can get, besides the Thermaltake and Evercool garbage, is this one, which should perform about the same as the Maze4, and is also available in black delrin. You just have to make sure it fits between your SLI cards. If you're using a DFI Expert or an Asus motherboard, you should be fine. Otherwise, I'm not too sure.

You don't actually need special blocks to do SLI, you just need to be careful with your plumbing.

I see a lot of guys using the PolarFlo blocks so they must be pretty good. The nice thing about the Maze4 low-profile blocks is that you know they'll clear in an SLI setup. You'll have to check the website to see if the PolarFlo's do too, or ask around.
