You're watercooling your whole rig? Is it expensive? :-S

Thats not watercooling, well kind off. This is a cheap solution, costs me 100 euros both of the Antec Cooler Kuhler H2O 620 and will keep my SLI very cool.

I got the same cooler for my CPU, love it.

I'll be getting a new 6870 soon, my 9600GT is a bit old atm...

Why didn't I think of this by the way? lol

Awesome Biggrin

Make sure you cool the vrm's as well, they're just as vital as any other part of the card.If they overheat and fail, good luck with the rma is all I can say.

The vram is as cool as always, check the temps I posted. They are the second gpu2 temps.

RE: Nvidia 480 SLI mod - Kayla - 2011-10-28 13:27

looks awesome :-O think of doing the same to my GTX 560 I'm getting in dec.

RE: Nvidia 480 SLI mod - FR4NOx - 2011-10-29 04:32

Hmm if I really wanted to I could try that with my GT240, but even that stays at a temp slightly higher than your 480 when mine's at 700core (from 550), though a bit louder. Tongue

Nice job! Smile

I meant the vrm's ie voltage regulators, if they fail they could give the card any voltage that would go through. May even be 12v who knows but considering a gpu runs on only 1 volt, its not a stretch to say it will be a light show. The memory is fine, its under the heatsink, so it has some cooling

RE: Nvidia 480 SLI mod - FR4NOx - 2011-10-29 21:44

Hmm this actually makes me wonder about taking an old gtx 260, try this mod, and then see if I can make it as fast as a 550 Ti, though without DX11...

That would actually be pretty cool. :3

RE: Nvidia 480 SLI mod - rttnpig] - 2011-10-30 22:30

Had one badly installed.
Temps im getting on BF3= 49ºc

RE: Nvidia 480 SLI mod - Knight - 2011-11-15 11:08

Ok im very interested...

Did you just loop the cooler on with cable ties over and through the bracket screw holes?

RE: Nvidia 480 SLI mod - rttnpig] - 2011-11-15 12:00

yup

RE: Nvidia 480 SLI mod - Speed - 2011-11-26 23:48
