They call that a "mirror",it casts a reflection of things in front of it   Couldn't resist,sorry  I didn't even notice the mirror / reflection. I was trying to make the joke that the blue killer-fan was actually the miner... or is it? |

I already disassembled this one, but the third card was so elegantly fastened I had to keep the picture.  That card slot cover kept the top card firmly in place! I could take the rig in my hands and shake it in any orientation, and it wouldn't budge. The ziptie on the middle card actually kept it as one piece. The fan shroud and some plastic shrapnel fell off when I took the card from another rig, but fixing that was easy! |

What are you using to cool down those vrms? What tems you got with that setup on gpu/vrm? Some of those watered vga's looks similar to corsair H60/h80 series, is it? |

Just using some spare 92mm fans for the cards and a 120mm fan on the bench setup. The 7870 doesn't have any heatsinks on the MOSFETs and the 7950 already had a metal plate installed over the power circuity. The 7870 doesn't have any monitoring for the VRMs but with the 7950 it is usually about 72°C versus 86°C before. The GPU dropped quite a bit - on the 7870 it went from 73°C down to 44°C and the 7950 went from 82°C down to 47°C. The one on the left is a Thermaltake WATER2.0 Performer and WATER2.0 Pro on the right. They're very similar to the Antec H20 Kuhler series which all share the same OEM, Asetek. On my bench, I'm using the Performer for my 7950 and it cools adequately (GPU: 55°C / VRM: 71°C). |

My reference 7970 cooler have no metal plate over vrms, so they got hot when i putted accelero xtreme 7970 on it, although i have instaled vrm heatsinks, temps are higher then with reference cooler ~ 100 |

Yes. Thats why i stept back to refernce cooler, could not cool vrms good enogh  Any ideas, experience with custom vrm coolers? |

http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R7950-Twin-Frozr-3GD5-OC.htmlThe reason why they're so hot is because your Accelero is blowing hot air passed by the fins onto them. By removing that it won't be as hot - hence my solution. |

bump, I'd like to see higher res photos of more professional setups. Maybe a little wire management, with some air flow design kept in mind....

I'm surprised your RAM isn't watercooled What cards are those? |

The memory will be watercooled soon, and its just a pair of 5850's for now. This is the old gaming rig that got retired to mining, and the ram block came out for the new rig till I can get a replacement in.

You already have way to much on that loop. It's silly to water cooling anything but the gpu and cpu. Every time you add something, everything else will get hotter. Since things like ram don't benefit from water cooling it's just counter productive especially for mining. If its staying cool now, it's probably because the cards have a low hash rates. It would definitely not hold up if you upgraded to gpu's with high hash rates. |
