7800 cooling?

solomani · 13th June 2006, 7:48 PM

Guys,
About 6 months ago I installed a Coolermaster Aquagate. Very happy with it. Want to now try cooling my 7800 nividia card. Any recomendations? Would prefer something that could work off the Aquagate but I don't think thats possible.

Thanks.

Dangerden Acetal Maze4 GPU block ... but unless you're volt modding the card, going from stock hsf air to water cooling only will net you 10mhz gain on GPU and 20-40mhz gain on mem clocks. But if it's lower temps you want then water cooling dropped my load temps from 66-82C to 37-40C!

Aquagate probably won't be able to handle GPU + cpu cooling

so voltmodding is the only way to reach higher clock? i seems to have hit the wall at 500mhz (not including delta clock).

Does aquagate even have the option to do that? I can't see any extra ports for pipes. Would be nice however.

I overclocked my last card so I will overclock this one as well. More concerned about total noise elimination.

Thanks for the info/link.

p.s. you can't overclock the 7800 via s/w? If not why not?
