best waterblock generic?
Hello, I'm searching for a suitable generic Waterblock under $20 with an LGA 2011 socket. Has anyone tried this product?
Have you thought about using pci-e extension cables to separate the cards and then relying on air coolers? It's mentioned that you can use two extensions per GPU without issues, so it should work fine. You may need to modify a case, though. This is just an idea I was considering.
For budget-friendly watercooling options, consider kits from alphacool or EK. If your requirement is limited to a waterblock for LGA 2011, it suggests you have sufficient funds, allowing you to invest in a reputable brand with superior performance and durability. That block appears questionable. High-quality LGA 2011 blocks are available for $40-$50 from alphacool, EK, primochill, ecc...
Computers are a bit tricky here. If you're on a tight budget, consider purchasing a kit from alphacool or EK. For a LGA 2011 waterblock specifically, it might be worth investing a bit more for a reliable brand with better performance. The one you're looking at seems a bit questionable. You can find high-quality LGA 2011 blocks for around $40 to $50 from alphacool, EK, primochill, ecc... I get it, but the issue is finding a good balance between cost and quality when it comes to cooling your system.

Computers are a bit unstable. Have you thought about using PCI-E extension cables to separate the cards and then relying on air coolers? It's said you can install two extensions per GPU without hitting any bottlenecks, so it should work. You might need to adjust the case though. That was just a thought I had. Thanks for your help. It’s not a GPU—it’s a mining cointerra IV. The cooling system is really poor, it gets as hot as 120 degrees. I’ve attached some pictures for reference.
Sorry, I understand now. Actually, I’m not familiar with that block. There’s no manufacturer listed, and it’s intended for bitcoin with 24/7 operation, so efficiency and reliability are important.
My suggestion is:
Search for reviews or similar products for that waterblock.
Check eBay or post an ad in the Toms classifieds section—you might find quality options within your budget.
I’m not sure how effective this block would be. A poor choice could mean no improvement over existing cooling, leaving you worse off financially.
So, explore the used market for better quality and consider alternatives like cheaper air coolers.
Review other users’ experiences; if it has a track record of success in high-TDP setups and positive feedback, it might be worth considering.
