Was recently looking at getting a 2nd gtx570 for my rig but with my current card running all games with high settings etc I thought whats the point…

So i had some spare cash for the pc and searched for days online for something too buy but couldn’t find anything cool…So i decided to go down the GPU watercooling path lol(I’m sure i’ve said many times i’d never do it but what the hell)…

Sexy naked card…

It took a solid 2hrs to get the waterblock on honestly doing these mods hurts my head more then fixing a 2 million dollar machine at work lol…

After 5hrs of cutting/joining/adjusting hoses and fitting 4 new blue led fans all went very well…:wink2:

So job done whats nexts aaarrrhhh most likely a 2nd card with waterblock down the track…(6 months +)… So the main gain (besides the fun of fitting it) Original temps where 40c idle/65 load with water cpu @ 4.2 gpu temps are 34c idle/46 load (gaming) very impressive imo…:wink2:

Cheers guys…:wink2: I’m real happy with the temp drop considering i had a top end cooler on the card(Gainward gtx570 phantom) which was very surprising was expecting maybe 10c drop but not a 20c drop…:blink: Happy Days…
