This will surely kill the v6k when done wrong, but it's the only thing left in case of overclocking.

Hi Gary,

I have aircooling and watercooling systems on my V5 6000 cards.
I prefer watercooling because chips are more cooled.
I want to have the best cooling system to have the best max frequency on these cards.
Phase Change is a good solution but it's not that.
I have in mind a better and optimized solution to have better results.

Take a look on this modded picture:

Materials:

nb. It's for the first secret project but I posted it here to answer your question.
Four parts in this picture.
If you find what is the new system, you can reveal the secret...

Great Comisarul, you have found it Peltier = TEC Not an IR temp gun, it's nothing.

Powersupply is ordered:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Trafo-Netzteil-Transformator-12V-40A-DIN-ISO9001-/2806533...
350W Coolingpower is very high. Maybe, we can freeze the card for best o/c results.

Done with the "normal functional design" but we will take tho old design. I like this

1mm Coldbplate on RAM.
To the front, we will take thermalgrease.
To the back, we will use thermalpads too.
4 tecs on GPU and 6 tecs on ram.

Idea:

We take a screw to push the pcb on the front cooler. Better is thermalglue, or we take a screw an a backplate. We have better temperatures.
We must defeated a plasticplate under the screw.
Acrylglastops must be changed in other material. We will use POM (black or white).
Acrylglas can broken because the temperatures differences.

Informations about isolation.
We need dough first to conserve the card. At first, the card must be protect with dough. But the dough will be cold too, to the tecs. There, we must isolate the dough too, with Armaflex. Armaflex is one of the best insolator. I think its a safe way.
Furthermore we can regulate the tecs with an controlpanel. With the controlpanel we can regulate the coolingpower.
May be from 400W - 100W.

Hello,
Come back

The front copperbaseplate is done:

New structur. 1mm to 0.3mm for cooler tecs. 4 hours of investement for this struktur. In the backcooler, same structur.

An electronics engineer draws up the control panel:

All provisionally done.

Here is the beauty:

In progress now...

Regards,
