discussion Self contained gpu water coolers?

[clashmo]

If you guys have any info on self contained gpu WCers I would be very happy.
Performance, price, brands and ease of install
Currently using a gtx580 and summer is on the way :shok:

Only Asetek and Coolit have made water cooling kits for GPUs.

Asetek never went to retail IIRC, they've only made them for system OEM's and PNY. (special GTX 580's)

Coolit went to retail but had little success and now only sells them through retail partners. Shouldn't be too difficult to find the main Omni unit, but you'll have a tough time getting the 580 plate for a reasonable price.

After a quick search of the web; this is what I found Omni ALC

and a couple of reviews (so you can get an idea of what it is/ how it performs, etc.)

As for getting in touch with CoolIt Systems; if you happen to live here in Calgary, it's a local call, if not, here is their contact page Contact CoolIT the people there are quite helpful (when it comes to any of their products), they should be able to direct you to a reseller.

I was sort of interested in this too, but for my 6970s, but I doubt there is anything out there for it

Not worth it; the card's power regulators and memory will get hot without any active cooling. Not cost effective to make a full cover block. Also, you have to consider that the average person will not be able to remove the stock heatsink. For 250 to 300 ish and you could put together a single card loop.
