I've got two Sapphires 7970 Vapor-x 3GB graphics cards. I've noticed that they get a bit loud when playing games, so I'm exploring the possibility of custom water cooling.
I cannot find any water blocks for my specific cards, so I'm asking you guys for help in locating one, or maybe info on where to look. Thanks!

EK is one manufacturer that makes a lot of water blocks for all products and currently they have no plans on a full card block so you will have to go with a GPU block that just covers the GPU. For the other chipsets and vrm you can get a heat sink set and some thermal tape to stick the heat sinks on.

As you know, they are non-reference cards, so the chance of a full-cover block is pretty slim. To my knowledge there arent any for the Vapor-X.
A universal water-block (thats compatible for 7970's) should work through, but you will need to find a different cooling solution for the cards VRM and VRAM.

I looked it up, and there are a couple of universal blocks that would fit. But I have really no idea on how/with what to cool the VRM and VRAM. Is it possible to have them water cooled also?

Would these copper heatsinks be enough to cool all other components, with the exception of the GPU core, without any fans that would generate noise? I really am not educated on how hot these chipsets & VRM can get. I'll have to find some info on where one would place the heatsinks on this card.
