I'm confident You should be able to make this Yourself in an evening or two - the hardest part is all the planing & getting all the right parts =) Once it's figured out (& I'm pretty sure You'd get help on this!) the rest is way enough, just need to put some care into process & that it!

Suppose I'll wait another year or even longer... will there always be (standard) parts available to make the Z go on WC?
Or are special parts needed (special Ek blocks or something other) that might be out of store?
just good to know in case..
cheers,

rappet,

I just bought Z waterblocks in UK but I feel these were one of last pieces. There is only the comodo swiftec alternative.

availability of some parts (like water blocks) for this card might be an issue, as they are produced in limited quantities as it's very nice product - though You can take a look for some discounts once in a while - just to have those.. (saw EK was selling water block at 50% discount for dual GPU beast from AMD..) & then make a loop once You feel comfortable.. Think TitanZ will remain a usable card for long with it's vRAM & all the power it delivers =)

Today I received an email from EK that Z blocks are 'end of life'.

sad life.., so I think for everyOne who would like to watercool Zs - grabbing these waterblocks if they see available probably last chance to do so =)

p.s. seen any comparison between Zs water blocks anywhere? insights from ExtremeOverclockers about Titan water blocks were awesome! curious if anyOne done anything similar with socks for Zs =)

The mess was cleaned up a while ago but the temps and performance are still bad (87/90C with 750Mhz), i think the only way to get stable 1100 Mhz+ about 60C and overall silence in the case with 2+ titanz's is watercooling.... the cables you see in the picture at the back are sticking very closely to the side wall, there is nothing blocking the air flow for the titans, i even removed the metal HDD rack from the case which you can see here -> (https://www.google.pl/search?q=corsair+ ...

and put my fractal design 140mm fan right beside the titans, the temps were still 87C+ (will post some pictures tomorrow when i charge up my phone)

I am very happy to have smicha by my side. It would be impossible for me to do a working water cooling build

PS: i cant look at my CPU radiator now.... what was i thinking

I think You Guys will come with beautiful solution for this beast =)
curiously looking forward for build log to come!

CPU cooler is monster, but it's one of the best metal piece on the market.
Going to water-cool CPU too?

We're going to dump this massive sh... and go with something neat like ek special edition. Or Glimpse, do you have anything cool in mind for the cpu waterblock? AC made of silver is way too expensive 195EUR, so we gave it up.

not into CPU cooling anymore, so lost track of them a while ago..
Personally (it's just a matter of taste & preference) I do like some XS-PC parts - plain & simple,
but bitspowers approach for mITX boards having a single full cover slab looks awesome
(though their bridge option for bigger boards gone completely sideways =DDD)
