EN Tutorial - Installing a Waterblock on a nVidia GTX 275 Graphics Card

http://www.DeXgo.com
In this video, I demonstrate the installation of a Bitspower Black Freezer waterblock on a nVidia GTX 275 graphics card by Zotac. You also get to see Bitspower's new mounting system.

Parts used:
- Zotac GeForce GTX 275 AMP! Edition
- Bitspower Black Freezer VG-NGTX260C

P.S.: Sorry if I seem a little pissed off in that last scene. It was the millionth take after I messed up all the other ones...

Hey thanks for the great video! I'm looking into doing this for my three BFG 275 GTX. I need to upgrade my case because I want everything to be internal. How do you setup a three way SLI water cooling rig? I can't find any tutorials on SLI or tri-SLI set ups. Thanks a lot! Your videos are superb.

@Yooniball Pretty simple, really. There are special connectors you can use to connect GPU's in SLI. You basically connect them together serially, just like any other group of waterblocks in a loop.

I'm really interested in water cooling, but I'm a bit hesitant because I'd have to buy new blocks whenever I get new hardware.

BTW Is the water pump quiet? How about the radiator? Is a passive one sufficient?

[DeXgocom]

Yes, nowadays most blocks are only compatible with one piece of hardware (except CPU blocks), so you do have to get new ones with hardware updates.

A good pumps can be made inaudiable (check out my Shoggy Sandwich video).

With passive radiators, you won't get far. However, using silent fans and large enough rads, you can get extremely silent systems.

where can i find the thermal pads?

Great video tanx

[DeXgocom]

They usually come with the block/heatsink.

But any hardware retailer should have thermal pads you can buy separately, if you need them.

[DAVERUKY]

@TikiShootah grown a pair in the last year?

[gibbletz]

I got 2 GTX 275's set up in SLI and it makes my room hot as hell, will this reduce the hot air the system puts out?

"This is our victim for today" hhahahahhaha his accent is funny

[chaosfct]

What do you do for cards that have memory chips on the back of the card such as the first GTX 260/280 & the Bitspower VG-NGTX280 block?

Thanks :)
