How to water cool a 3870x2

[radeonman]

recently purchased a 3d mercury built in water cooled case , its a given that i will be water cooling the cpu but dont know how to water cool the gpu though . if i look at the 3870x2 card it looks like a sealed unit and im afraid to try and take it apart to add a water block to it , although i would like to do so as the case allows not only for gpu cooling but also for hdd cooling as well .

anybody ever water cooled a 3870x2 before ? i dont want to break the card as its only about 6 months old .

If you don't know what your doing then its probably not worth the risk of trying to watercool it.

Hi , hounestly no one ever knows what they are doing until they`ve tried it. its like replacing a cpu for the very first time.

I`ve taken this card apart once to clean it from dust. nothing to it. just make sure you put the heatsinks back on the same place because there`s a difference.
