Hey Guys! I'm currently looking for a full coverage waterblock to fit my XFX 8600GTS. This card has a pathetic single slot blower/sinc and gets incredibly hot, 80c at full load with mid control panel settings. I really want to add this card to my cooling loop which is so overkill for just my CPU. I dont want to cool just the GFX chip as the ram gets incredibly hot also. I never really liked thoes little ram sinc's anyway. I know my cooling rig could easily handle much much more.

My first thought was to buy a block for an 8800 but thoes cards are like 4 inches longer then mine and dont appear to have the same mounting holes.

Note: I have a Termaltake Kandalf LCS case

I don't think there are any full blocks that will cover an 8600GTS, unless the Swiftech Stealth is compatible. I will be using a Swiftech MCW-60 on my 8800GTX with the G80 adapter plate. I the adapter plate should allow compatibility with an 8600GTS think it should fit, best to send Swiftech an email first.

Welcome to TBCS!

EDIT: Oh you have the Kandalf LCS. Swiftech water blocks generally come with the connectors that fit that small sized tubing. My MCW-60 did.
You may be able to use one of these, Thermaltake may have an adapter plate they can send you.

Oh Snap! I may have found what im looking for.

After a good search i found this. It says it fits 8600's except xfx 8600gt's. I'm going to send them an email and make sure it'll fit my card. I hope they ship to canada :)

That block looks about right, should be exactly what you need.
