I don't think there would be enough surface area on a water block to keep the loop cold. i guess that would depend on the lenght of the loop. You could always try it and let us know.

I think WD is right, and disassembling and erasering the cards isn't something I think I want to spend time on right now. The heat of the 4 gpus should keep a glycol solution mostly liquid but I had been thinking water like Supes. Surface area is another good concern.

oh well, back to the drawing board

I have one of those big beer chest coolers with a collapsable handle in which I've wound 50ft of 1/2 copper tubing connected to a 300gph fish tank pump, with a little resv to fill and monitor it. It's hooked to about 10ft of hose on each side. Fits 60lbs of wet ice. I've used it before to great effect, I think my VRs were down in the 7C range and the GPUs were about 14C. May break that out again but again condensation is a worry
