Danger Den DD-29XT VGA Water Block Review @ 3GM
Posted by Regeneration on December 2nd, 2007, 09:42 AM

Many might be wondering why spend money on a Video Card with a great cooler only to ripe it off and install an expensive VGA water block. The major reason why is it will cool the GPU and memory substantially better than any VGA cooler on the market. The other reason is noise related. The Radeon 2900 XT and 2900 Pro Video Cards can be very loud when under maximum load using the cooler. But having a VGA water block installed means it would be completely silent. The Danger Den DD-29XT VGA Water Block it’s a perfect option for a HTPC setup or a silent PC build. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end.

It’s just a water block, not an entire kit. If you want to use this kind of water block, make sure to have some good pump and radiator, otherwise it would be useless.

Nice looking cooler and a nice size as mentioned in the review for a crossfire setup. On the review pretty good but the guy needs to loosen up a little bit I think like he did on the bloopers at the end which were quite funny BTW ... "Make sure you carefully remove THE stock cooler and then THE thermal paste. Now apply THE new thermal compound to THE ram and THE gpu ... sounded mechanical ... just me I guess"

Looks good but one question that wasn't even touched on in the review. I can see the cooler does an outstanding job cooling the components it is in direct contact with but what about the board and other ambient components ? There is no fan or air flow around the cooler or the board. I have found even with this X1950 the board can get quite warm with no air flow and in fact the backside of the card opposite where the GPU sits can get very hot. I bet its even hotter on a 29xx or 88xx card. Just curious it wasn't mentioned at all in the article

i think the video reviews this dude does are seldom in-depth. the bloopers are a waste of bandwidth and he sounds to me like an englishman trying hard to speak with an american accent...

but it does look like a real nice block...
