Last idea....

LOL.....maybe..but I don't know how old Joker is..............;)

Mainly reff GPU coolers as that's what the OP was asking about......;)

Yeah, true. One of my Zalman VF-700Cu's has been on a 6600GT AGP, 6600GT PCI-E, 7600GT, 7900GS, and would have made it to my 8600GTS if I hadn't gotten the VF-1000...which would fit all of the above excepting the AGP card, due to the stupid PCI-E/AGP interface.

That's exactly what I'm say, my GPU block has fit on every card I've owned from way back from my ATi based 9800 series, ATi 800 Series, Nvidia 7900 series to my 8800 series. Simply bolt the thing on and run the beast and keep the card cool and silent. AGP, PCI, PCI-e, doesn't matter, load and go.................;)

One the CPU cooler side of things, there also a bunch of air coolers, high and low end that will not fit on a bunch of different boards due to clearance problems with surrounding components, haven't had that problem with water blocks as they connect directly over just the core...........:). But I can't get into each and every model here, I just know some of the ones that I've used (reviewed) myself or read about online. Air coolers also cause a bunch of fitting issues when going for after market NB coolers even further limiting what one will fit where..........;)

Plus the added headache of dealing with and maintaining a watercooling loop... EEESH, I hardly have the patience for a little fish tank, let alone watercooling...

Well, I guess if you have the time and money. Plus you your rig looks cool! That's the best part!
