Im upgrading my pc atm and i really want to play arround with some water cooling on my cpu and graphics card but im having some problems finding out if there is any waterblocks that fit on my graphics card, im getting a Asus x79-D motherboard with a Gigabyte GV-N680OC 4GB (might think about SLI if there is room with water cooling instead of that huge cooling unit on it atm)

What do you need water block for man? Those three fans are not gonna let the graphic card reach 40C or hardly 50C. Those are big fans and there is a nice heat sink beneath them. Also that card is not gonna require the SLI for another year or two, and i don't think there is a water block that can fit for that card.

I guess its not a question of how much water cooling is needed as much as how i want the look of the build to be, also im planning on ordering a Samsung U28D590DS 4k res monitor and ive heard alot of stories about if i wonna be able to game on that i should look at some serious graphics options, where SLI on this card might become neccesary?
but again i would just really like to make a nice build project with the looks water cooling bring to the case, and being able to run games decent at 4k resolution.

Look here is the thing you need: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835146038

In the pictures there is a video how to install it, remember to install properly or you are going to mess up your graphic card. Also stock fan is not that great so remember it. And you need to buy a water cooling kit of corsair for the graphic card to be water cooled separately. This is just a sleeve you have to buy the water cooling separately. Again i seriously recommend the stock fans and the heat sink but this is all your choice.

i already own the graphics card so im just wondering if there's any options for putting water cooling on it, and i would prefer not getting a sleeve.

Like i said that thing is small and your graphic card is big, although i am sure using a water cooler will keep the temperature below 40 to 50 C but the problem is of fitting that thing and the place for water cooling kit as the graphic card will be located at the bottom side of the case and i don't think pipes are that long that they can go to the top of the case.

i would be replacing the tubing on whatever cooling unit i gonna go with, was gonna go with Primoflex Advanced LRT tubing, with some bitspower true silver compression fittings, and probably a corsair H100i cooler for the cpu (with replaced tubing aswell) so i was just really hoping i could find some sort of waterblock for the graphics card.
but i guess if its completely impossible on this card i gotta buy a new card or live with the stock fan (probably a new card)
