Has anyone come up with a cheap water cooling solution for the S3? I already have a nice waterloop built that i'd like to use with a 34" radiator outside. Hopefully I don't have to spend an arm+leg on water blocks...
what do you want water cooling for? you can't over clock most of them. the stock fans keep the gear pretty cool.
if you set freq to 212.5 it is cooler and pretty quiet . not whisper quiet but decent.
Not sure what your need for a water block cooler is based on. for all I know you may have a really good reason.
I have an existing waterloop in my server closet and I'm trying to minimize heat inside. I'd also like to see how much OC I could get with water cooling.
If someone supplied me with some current cooling blocks and/or specs, I can design a 3d printable waterblock setup pretty easily and post them up on Shapeways for others to purchase
might be a good idea. from what I have read the main problem is on the dc to dc chip. would be nice to have a waterblock solution as a solution
Yeah I've been tinkering around with a couple GPU cooling blocks for my older 5970's as the waterblocks for those are getting really expensive and with the 3d printed metals Shapeways has to offer I can design and print some GPU waterblocks cheaper than I can pay for new on Alibaba or even used waterblocks.
I don't have an S3, yet but even with just the specs I could probably whip something up but I prefer to test my designs personally. I could always design and print the prototypes for a select few to test for proper fitment prior to placing orders on Shapeways (if I don't have my own S3 for development).
