Hey Fellows,

I want to use that kind of device (http://bit.ly/1cQmomF)
to cool R9 280X video card.

Do you think it is going to work out ?

Thanks in advance
Roman

with a lot of work it will do, you have to figure out how to mount it and then get passive coolers for the ram. For all the trouble it would be easier to get a full cover waterblock. Your also trusting you videocard with a 14 dollar water block made for a northbridge chip

I guess it might work but then you're not cooling the VRM's or RAM on the card. Check out frozencpu.com they sell better generic blocks for video cards or specific blocks for video cards.

They mean that on video cards you need to cool more than just the GPU. you need to cool the RAM somehow and also the VRM's. By removing the stock heatsink which covers the RAM and VRM's and the GPU and just placing a block on the GPU, the RAM and VRM's still need to be cooled and will overheat the card regardless of the water cooling on the GPU.

With 40 cards, I would look at getting an AC instead in the room and just keep the ambient temps lowers than trying to watercool 40 of them. lol.
