Corsair H80 on GTX580 OC

[janbo872]

I ordered a Corsair H80 watercooler and gonna put it on one of my GTX580 Overclocked Graphic cards, on the other one i mounted a aftemarket cooler wich is working well ( 60 Â*degrees on full load, where the other one gets 85 degrees, and making a hell of noise)) .. there is no space to mount this on the other to, so i came up with this solution. Ment to be a processorcooler it is also possible to mount it on a graphics card. This afternoon it arives, but i think i gonna build it in the weekend. I Also gonna put my Antec 1200 watt powersuply outside the case and make a outside air intake wich will blow cold air from beneath in the case. This will take more time, so i gonna do that in 3 weeks when i have a week off from work. Â*8)

I'd be interested to see some pictures of this as I have a H80 for my CPU.

I assume your only having one H80 total as having one for CPU and GPU would cause massive space issues in any case. ÂÂ*Are you using custom made fixing brackets? ÂÂ*Or does the stock also work with GPUs

Did you consider buying a entry level water cooling system? As you could then cool both CPU and GPU.

I have a HAF932 case, so space is no problem. My cpu is cooled by a corsair H100 in push/pull http://www.oldguys.eu/file/janbo872/IMG-0632.jpg

The H80 i mount on the back outlet .. i considerd to replace my (big) psu from the bottom to the outside of the case, to get a free air-intake for the other GTX580 wich is closest to the PSU right now, but i am making something els for that .. directed airflow from the bottom of thr case should do the trick.

I did a test this evening and i had a 10 degrees drop on idle and 12 degrees ingame, but i am verry unsatisfied about the corsair ventilators deliverd with the H80 ... they are to loud and they don't produce enough airflow on lower speeds. I wil change them with 2x noctua i think. Furthermore i need to make a new bracket to mount the cooler to the graphics card, the bracket i made is to thin and bends to easy by screwing the pieces together, i think aluminium 1.5 mm will do, this will make the connection better and will improve the results i guess.

Next year summer i will build a complete new pc, and then i buy a complete watercooling setup, let's see and wait for what the new ÂÂ*developtments ÂÂ*are around that time.
