Danger Den 295 GTX Water Block

INTRODUCTION

When Nvidia introduced the 295GTX video card, we were all amazed at its shear raw power this video card had. It quickly took the top performance spot in gaming and in benchmarking.

So, it was nothing for us users to overclock this powerful video card to gain a little bit more performance, but as always the stock cooler provided just enough cooling to keep the video cool during normal or mild overclocking stages. When we started really cranking things up a few notches, the air cooler just was not cutting it. Not to mention the way Nvidia designed the original air cooler. It would dump half of the hot air this video card produced back into the chassis, causing our other components to get a little warmer than normal. Also, the way Nvidia designed this powerful video card, by sandwiching two video cards over a central cooler, made using any kind of after market cooler an absolute impossibility.

It is only natural for some of us to venture into alternative coolers like water blocks. Danger Den has been delivering water cooling products for as long as I can remember, as they make water blocks for all kinds of different video cards CPU's and motherboards. I am going to show you this new water block that Danger Den brought to us. This water block fits the Nvidia 295GTX video card.
