Mounting a Corsair H80 on a Asus ENGTX560 DC/1GB... possible yes. Know how, No.

[Syber]

So really I'd like to know how to fit one of them on to a 560. I've seen videos on YouTube and people did say that the temperature dropped from 80C at full load to 60+/- C at full load.

Now I know that i can use zip ties to mount it on, but that just doesnt look neat. So 1 question is: What socket bracket would fit said card so atleast its actually mounted instead of just hanging there.

and question 2: the rad is 120MMx120MM. Where would be the best place to attach it to then keeping in mind i want to get a H100 for the CPU and want to fit this at the top for the Push/Pull config.

No, I do not have the parts for the PC yet. Still have to wait until may, but I'm exploring things.

The case that will be used is a ThermalTake Armor V4 BlackEdition. its not the biggest but certainly will do with a maximus IV Gene-Z. Also I know it may not sound as cool to you as it does to me, but I just can't afford a full 360Loop.
And I am sick and tired of the air coolers making such a racket in my current pc that I just want to through it out of my window at times.

Anyway many thanks in advance!

That's actually a very smart idea and i am too curious

I have used CPU coolers on graphic cards in the past to good effect. The trick is finding a suitable mounting system, what I did was use bits from different coolers and simply bolted the unit to the card. Does not matter if it looks like a dogs breakfast as long as it works.

yeah true, I do want to try to use the mounting bracked thats already on the card, and mod the mount on the cpu cooler to fit the mount on the card. just have to try it when i get all the components :) otherwise I'll use the temporary zip tie solution

You'll probably have to buy new heatsinks for the vram modules, use a good TIM btw.

Thanks for the advice :)

I think its possible you only need to make a proper mounting system to fit it.:cool:
