Thread: 8600GTS Full Coverage WB?

    Default 8600GTS Full Coverage WB?

    Hey Guys! I'm currently looking for a full coverage waterblock to fit my XFX 8600GTS. This card has a pathetic single slot blower/sinc and gets incredibly hot, 80c at full load with mid control panel settings. I really want to add this card to my cooling loop which is so overkill for just my CPU. I dont want to cool just the GFX chip as the ram gets incredibly hot also. I never really liked thoes little ram sinc's anyway. I know my cooling rig could easily handle much much more.

    My first thought was to buy a block for an 8800 but thoes cards are like 4 inches longer then mine and dont appear to have the same mounting holes.

    Note: I have a Termaltake Kandalf LCS case

    any help or best possible options are appreciated.

    I don't think there are any full blocks that will cover an 8600GTS, unless the Swiftech Stealth is compatible. I will be using a Swiftech MCW-60 on my 8800GTX with the G80 adapter plate. I the adapter plate should allow compatibility with an 8600GTS think it should fit, best to send Swiftech an email first.

    Welcome to TBCS!

    EDIT: Oh you have the Kandalf LCS. Swiftech water blocks generally come with the connectors that fit that small sized tubing. My MCW-60 did.
    You may be able to use one of these, Thermaltake may have an adapter plate they can send you.

    That block looks about right, should be exactly what you need.
