Hi guys. I just purchased a used 6990 card and I was considering replacing the stock cooler.
I found a decent deal on a waterblock on the classifieds in my area ( an alphacool bnib ).
What the hell else do I need to make things happening ?
If things are obvious yet, I never used WC-ing before nor I have much clue about what parts are needed.
I am using a Scythe Ashura for my i5 3570k @ 4.3 Ghz and I couldn't be happier so WC CPU cooling is not a must.
Thank you

To get going with a custom loop for the graphics here's what you'll need to get started; 1) Radiator. 2) Pump, 3) Reservoir, 4) Tubing, 5) Fittings (barbs are least expensive) and of course, 6) GPU waterblock. This article should help answer questions about water cooling http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/277130-29-read-first-watercooling-sticky - I will suggest looking at water cooling kits since I have been unable to source individual parts cheaper

There are adapters available to use an all-in-one liquid cooler for a GPU you might want to consider.
