Radeon 6950 Liquid Cooling with NZXT G10

Hardware Hub Cooling

Hello Syndicate! Long story short, I've got a reference MSI Radeon 6950 (for the dual-bios switch, unlocked to 6970 spec), and the stock cooler is just airplane loud. I've considered liquid cooling for a long time, but as of late it's gotten harder to find blocks that fit at a reasonable price. I've been seriously considering the NZXT Kraken G10 because it's affordable, universal, and seems to make life just plain easier. 

Now, as far as the tubing, pump, res, etc. goes, I'd just like some recommendations or even just a place to start looking. I'm wanting to spend less than $100-$140 IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, but I am open to suggestions. 

I would also like something that can be adapted in the future to include a CPU loop; however, that's not top priority ATM as my temps are fine, performance is fine, and noise is fine. 

 

Thanks, guys!

The G10 isnt a waterblock its a mounting bracket/kit to mount your EXISTING closed-loop All in one Liquid cooler TO the graphics card. So something like an an NZXT X40 or Thermaltake Water 2.0 performer for example.  This bracket is basically an easier more commercially available rendition of the original "Dwood bracket" that people used to mount their closed loop coolers to Graphics cards for a few years now over at overclock.net.  The bracket kit is a better way of doing "The mod" to your graphics card to liquid cool it. Check the thread over at OCN for the details about how it all works.

You would have to buy a closed loop Asetek based unit (thermaltake, nzxt, antec, and the corsair h90/110) to use the bracket.
