I use this one on mine, but it dosnt cool the memory. You could always go with this one too if you have the $$. Its more compareable to the one in your link

The best waterblock for any GPU (6800U is in this) is Silverprop's Fusion HL. Unfortunately, it's about twice the price of a normal WB ($80+), and offers a higher pressure drop than the second best, DandgerDen's Maze4. It's not much better than the Maze4, so I would just advise that you get a Maze4. There are varius tops to the Maze4, the original being aluminum (you don't want that, it causes corrosion), and three new ones coming later. Of the three, all are safe to use, but I would advise getting the Acetal (delrin) topped block. The brass is heavy, and the crome is too expensive in my opinion. Get it here.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the NV-68. Even though it looks cool and is huge, it isn't any better of a block than the Maze4. Since it is so big, it has a larger pressure drop, so the increased area doesn't make up for the decrease in flow. It has been proven that RAM doesn't need water cooling before (it'll also heat up your WB more than nessecery). If you buy some RAMsinks and have moderate airflow in your case, you will be fine. If you want to spend extra money, get a Fusion HL.

and just keeping the stock heatsinks for the ram... you dont need to buy new ones

opps you might only be able to use the heatsinks from the GT though... damn...

The Maze 4 is killer.

I love the Maze 4 on my GPU....load temps under 50 when overclocked, it's hard to beat that.....

do i see a copywrite infringement here?

looks like the maze 4 is pretty sweet.

I'm using the maze4 currently. Temps are listed in my sig. I haven't used anything else to compare it too, but based on reported temps I've seen online, I've got good temps. OCing to 600/1200 went without a hitch. I'd say go with the Maze4. Personally, I wouldn't go with the chrome version as you won't really see it once it's installed anyway, but hey, if you've got the extra cash to burn, go for it.

i use a thermaltake VGA waterblock that i lapped extensively along with some ram heatsinks....anyways when building computers for other people ive tried other WB's on my SLI setup but i get the coolest with what i am using.

I tried the maze and the vn-68 btw, both are great.
