Blastflow with BFG 8800gt?

Hi,

I have just purchased a BFG 8800gt and an XSPC Razer full cover waterblock to go with it. Turns out the waterblock doesn't fit the BFG! Only the 4 holes around the GPU core match up.

So basically the XSPC block only works with the original Nvidia design and any deviation from that design renders the cooler useless.

So my question is...

Will the blastflow 8800gt plate fit the BFG 8800gt OC2?

I believe so (90%)... but someone from Vadim will answer this.

Hi,

Thanks. In the meantime I'm going to use my universal GPU only cooler and buy some ram and mosfet heatsinks.

I'd much prefer a proper cooler like the blastflow. My water setup will chill the GPU to 8 or 9c in winter so it would be nice to apply that cooling to ram and mosfets too.

thats correct - we use our Blastflow Blocks on the BFG 8800GT OC cards and never had a problem Smile

Ok.

I will sell the XSPC block and buy a blastflow.
