Title: Can a standard, full GTX 480 GPU water block fit on a Super Overclock Edition?
Post by: TheRockMonsi on March 14, 2011, 10:55:15 pm

Well, the title says it all.  I want to put my GTX 480 SOC under water, but first I want to make sure that a full GTX 480 water block can properly fit onto it. I know the SOC has a custom PCB, so that's why I'm asking.  Anybody have any idea?

Hi

As you say the PCB is not reference so I would tend to doubt it but if you go to EK's website they do a list of blocks that they know will fit different cards.

Thanks for that Dark.  Going there eventually led me to CoolingConfigurator.com, and I found out there if EK made full water blocks for my card.  Unfortunately, they don't.  I'll have to see if anybody else does, but I have my doubts now.  Thanks for helping me find out though.

EDIT:
Just looked around and found out that none of the Danger Den or Koolance full cover blocks support this card either.  Oh well, I guess that means no full block for me...

Don't give up though as these often come out some time after the cards are produced so it is worth keeping an eye on the coolingconfigurator pages
