Hi all,

Just looking for some advice over what block to use for an old AGP 7800GS 512Mb card. I haven't quite got round to ripping the heatsink off yet (as the PC is still be used on aircooling for a little longer).

I gather people had lots of problems getting bridge chip (AGP-PCIe) cooled when the card first came out. I contacted Danger Den about whether their old full coverage block (7800 - non-SLI) would work with the card... They wanted details of the chip spacing (which I can't provide yet). NB they don't list their old 7800 block (on the DangerDen website) but you can still buy it.

Just wondering whether I can get a stock full-coverage block that would do the bridge chip somewhere (ideally with G1/4" threaded bards)? .... Or do I have to use generic block (Maze 5) and something like the mini-cooler blocks that Alphacool produce?

Sorry I've only built up one watercooled PC before so I am still total newbie at this!! :hello:

Thanks if anyone can help

Bob
