How to install EK water block on HD 6970

[Mooseguy15]

or is the base always the same just not the barb?

[Mooseguy15]

ok what size fittings does this use or does it come with fittings cause they mention nothing about say 1/4 3/8 7/16

[condor484]

will this fit on a xfx radeon hd 6970? cause mine does not seem to fit the magic r19 bits are too big. thanks

[condor484]

can someone message me what clock setting you use with this GPU ? thanks.

[FiratYetkin]

@condor484 mine @ 950 GPU clock / 1540 Memory clock / +20% Power. Idle temp 35 celcius. On load max 70 celcius.

[condor484]

@FiratYetkin and you keep the tempreture down through water cooling? cause mines hitting the 90s

[FiratYetkin]

@condor484 if you are using stock fan its normal dont worry :) Mine also hits 80-90 degrees when i using stock fan.. But after 95 its red zone !

[vunguyen2712]

was it glue that u put glue on the GPU????

[MegaAssassinoo]

@vunguyen2712 it's thermal paste man -.-

[JamesAColemanFan]

@vunguyen2712 please don't build your own pc.

[ElectricMuffinDude]

How about the gpu backplate bracket or whatever you call it?

[ISCREAM92]

I have the Sapphire Radeon HD6970 DUAL FAN graphics card (google it) will this fit on there ? Really happy if you could help me out with that !

[FiratYetkin]

@ISCREAM92 If your card is non-reference it not fits. I think you can find suitable one on performance-pcs or ek water blocks website.

very nice Installation Guide, thanks for uploading =)

[tjdudi]

Someone who don't read comments and install it like you did, will burn his graphic card. What with ram and vrm's!!

[CrASYmUZIk]

Whats that green thing on top of the second PSU

[houston34]

looks like you put a lot of thermal paste on gpu core， is it necessary ?

[madbab00n]

@houston34 not really...

[shinymcshineshine]

Does the waterblock cut down the thickness of the card by the amount shown in the vid? It seems to do quite a bit.

[nicktlloyd]

Thanks for the vid! Nice track as well!

[knownasgeeks]

do you have to buy every thing that is needed for the waterblock like the things that go on the holes to allow the water to flow threw? or does it come with every thing that is needed in order to install it with any water cooling kit?

[addemufc]

@knownasgeeks Stop plugs are included (2 of them, all u need). Nipples are not included, though.

[wekedSWE]

nice song nice vid man thx man :P

[GLuGGycOw]

VERY NICE VIDEO. worked well, please do another video of your watercooling setup as id like the exact as yours :) and talk us through it SUBED! ie: whats your loop what temps and what parts :)) thanks very much

[gbHaiL]

what did u clean the gpu off with?

[USAFFountain]

@gbHaiL I use rubbing alcohol and a coffee filter.

[dino213aa]

what track is this in the background?

[FiratYetkin]

@dino213aa

Its mine :) I produced with Fl Studio and Sony Acid..

[AquariusInPR]

Would you need to put any thermal paste on the ram chip, and vrm's?

[FiratYetkin]

@AquariusInPR

Definitely i put thermal paste but it takes so much time because you have to cut thermal pastes same size of the chips.. I didnt shoot that part of installing :)

[hoodlumfromavk]

@AquariusInPR

It's not a must, i contacted ek support just to get a general idea, and the tech support said you get better temps without adding thermal paste and just using thermal pads you just have to be careful to make full contact. So yeah i never bothered with both of mine, everything works fine very low temps.

[CalebUnleashed]

Awesome! What water cooling equipment did you use? (pump, heat sink, etc)

[FiratYetkin]

Swiftech MPC 655 Pump

Swiftech Apogee XT - CPU block

Darkstone Reservoir

Koolance MB-ASM3E - Motherboard block

EK FC6970 - GPU block

XSPC-RX360 - Radiator

[CalebUnleashed]

@FiratYetkin Thanks!!

[ZarCus1984]

[FiratYetkin]

@ZarCus1984

I don't know exactly.. Please search in Google :)
