no reason for it really. It doesn't run hot enough to justify a water block. If you want to quiet it, it runs cool enough to just stick a passive heatsink on like the Arctic Cooling Accelero S1.

How far have you pushed the OC with the regular cooling? As mentioned, those cards aren't really worth OC'ing.

Given that the cost of the average waterblock is $100+, you're looking at over $400 to OC your cards. Why not just buy a better GPU instead?

It's probably new enough that it does not have any liquid cooling blocks available for it. If you are handy with a precision mill, I suppose you could make one yourself but I do not recommend it. I fully plan to buy a couple graphics cards for my new rig when I get the cash to do so and one of my first things to research is water cooling because I know I will overclock them and do not have the patience to go through the same issues you are going through. If you hang in there, there may eventually be a company that will make the water cooling block you are looking for, but given the state of recent GPU releases and how little space between new products has become more common, I would not be surprised to find that no water cooling block will become available for those cards (particularly because of the fact that they are on the low-end of AMD's lineup of DX11 cards).

Get a couple of 5970's and I'm sure you'll find the water cooling you desire! (albeit, at $1,300 before water cooling hardware is purchased, and about $700 more than four 5750's).

I doubt you'll ever see blocks for those cards.

GPU water blocks are a very low volume part (in sales), so companies will only produce blocks for cards that are commonly overclocked. In the case of ATIs current gen cards, you can buy blocks for the 58xx and 59xx series but not the 57xx or 55xx series.

That may change, but I doubt it.

Rule of thumb: if you're going to watercool, you have to plan your entire rig with that in mind. Unlike an air-cooled PC, you can't just mix and match parts unless you're willing to leave some parts out of the loop or, as someone said, make your own blocks.

Very math- (Trigonometry) and labor-intensive, that.

If math isn't your thing, you probably don't want to take up programming. ;)

I don't mind it at all, but in reference to the GFX water block, it would actually prove cheaper and less aggravating to just buy a new card which has the available water block than to precision-machine one yourself. I plan to take programming and like the math enough to enjoy the programming itself, but I can agree that it's not for everyone as it does require a lot of patience (Particularly with debugging).

As an update to my previous post so others can see, here are a few links that may help in the hunt for 5750/5770 water cooling blocks:

XtremeSystems Forum: XFX 5770 Water Cooling
Cooling Configurator - EK 5770 Water Cooling Block

Two options. Have Fun!

:mrgreen:

Those are both the same option, I think.

FWIW, EK makes high-quality blocks. Adding a block that costs as much as the card, though, seems somewhat foolish to me.

Nice to know that the support is there, though.

Another issue is that it is unclear if the 5770 block that EK offers is compatible with a 5750 of the MSI brand... However, on the forum link is an example of how one person got a part to work on his card using some minor modifications to the mounting bracket. But again, like you said... may be too expensive to deal with and still come out lower than the price of, say, a 5850 - which has water blocks available at cheaper prices from what I understand.

meh...at least there are options.

Swiftech's MCW60 is a very common block .. used for just about everything.

That, and ramsinks, are the 'go-to' solution for anyone cooling a card that doesn't have a custom solution available.

I think every seasoned watercooler has one or two of them in the spare-parts bin .. didn't really think it was something that needed to be mentioned, tbh. ;)

True, but noobs like myself - although seasoned - appreciate finding out about these things.
It may have taken some hunting and minimal frustration, but now I also know about this easy fix in case one of my customers should desire to liquid cool an uncommon or unsupported video card.

Your opinion is valued though, Jipstyle.
