It the XSPX gtx 670 water block thicker than the reference cooling assembly?

tougas · May 11, 2013

Just as the title describes. Im trying to design an acrylic box to cover my psu and pumps for my loop and i am trying to make it as tall as possible for work space underneath. But I plan on adding a loop for my gpus and I want to make sure the blocks are smaller than the reference cooling assembly. Any input would be great thank you

The card will be MUCH smaller with a water block on it - I have one sitting right here

You'll save about 2-3" in length between the watercooled version and the original.

What about the height of the card im not so much worried about the length as in bottom to top

In the below article you can see the back of the card where the air cooling system stretches father than the actual board. The waterblock will only be the length of the pcb board.

my galaxy gtx 670 is a full pcb. it goes the full length of the standard cooler. What i need to know is if the thickness is mor or less with the xspc water block installed

Sorry - you said "reference" so I though your card was a reference 670. If it's full length card as you say then it's not reference for a 670. I believe the Galaxy GTX 670 uses a GTX 680 board.

If you're talking thickness (I'll assume you're referring to thickness as the dimension of using 2 slots) - that will depend on the water block. The block itself should be thinner but the connection points for the water could make it just as thick as the original.

Ok - did more research - you'll have to use the 680 block from XPSC.

This site has the dimensions of the block:

Usually once a card is water-blocked, they physically take up no more than a single slot. Only reason they do is because of the I/O plate at the back taking one up.

And yes, a reference 670 PCB is actually very short. Your 670 could be using a 680 PCB.
