You can replace the triple-fan cooler with this water-based one if you wish

High-end graphics cards produce a lot of heat, and while air coolers do take the edge off, they aren't the most silent things ever made, and they are limited in terms of how much overclocking they can allow.

EK deals in water cooling products, and it is a water block for Gigabyte's WindForce 3X version of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 (Ti) series graphics cards that it has most recently launched.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 (Ti) normally has a single-fan cooler, but the WindForce 3X from Gigabyte enables factory overclocking and can cope with some consumer clock tweaking too, at home.

Water cooling can go well beyond that, though, and while there still is a limit to how much overclocking a board can take, it is taken much higher by a water block.

So here is the EK-FC780 GTX WF3, which directly cools the GPU, RAM and VRM (voltage regulation module).

You can connect up to four of them together, via EK-FC Terminal or an EK-HD Tube & Adapter System.

Finally, there is a nickel version and one with a mix of acetal and nickel material. In both cases, the price is €102 / $102. Pre-installed screw-in brass standoffs should allow you to affix the item easily to your video board.
