Title: What to do with my 5970 waterblocks and water cooling loop...
Post by: jjshabadoo on September 02, 2012, 01:31:44 PM
So I have an EK quad parallel bridge, ek waterblocks and fittings for a 4 x 5970 water cooling loop. I just had my second MCP 655 pump fail in another loop I built and I am trying to decide if is even worth it to set up a new loop with these parts or just sell them off and buy some new GPU's like 7970's, etc.

So I could set up a 4 x 5970 quad parallel loop or

sell the blocks(which are brand new) and other water cooling parts and just buy some new GPU's and slap them in.

Bear in mind I am not just going to be bitcoin mining with my GPU's anymore as there are scientific compute jobs and other non mining work which pays just fine, so I am not worried about ASIC or anything like that.

I know this is kind of silly, but I just can't think about it anymore and wanted some input.

Thanks.

Could please elaborate which other other non mining work pays just fine I'm very interested.
Thanks,
