hi.
im bilding a waterBlock for my radeon 9800pro, and i dont want to take off the HSF befor it will be finish. i need to see how the card look like, without the HSF. (i need to see the )
thenx alot.
the material is soft, most gpu blocks for these ati chipsets come with a soft insert that goes between the hard part and the core for a more level mounting surface
Uh, negative, the material is hard. It's a piece of metal glued to the chip (which can be removed if you're careful), not hard, or squishy, foam or any other material which could be mistaken for soft.
Here is a pic of the underside of a stock cooler from a 9800 pro AIW. I have dimensioned the holes and core boss. Keep in mind that the core is LOWER than the square metal band that goes around it. The core boss on this heat sink is raised .015". Also I think 35mm may be a little small. I think it is closer to 38mm.
Actually it all depends on how you plan to secure the water block. 35mm may work just fine. If that gives you enough room for ins and outs and a clamp of some kind. All you really need to be concerened with is contact with the core. You really do not want to contact that metal band.It may prevent good core contact. But you must ensure even contact on the core.
Just scaling off the above photos. ( Knowing that the mounting holes are 2" on center, ) My guess would be that the outside of that square metal band is about 1.6" and the inside is about 1.25", So 35mm would land right in the middle of it.

that was a freudian slip, i said soft cause i was thinking about the soft insert... ****

so the water block actualy, have no contact to that metal band ?
cos if it is contact to the metal band, ther will be not good contact to the core.
thenx for saport, sorry for bad english.

Correct ...
But,It can contact the metal band but only after being in intamate contact with the core. Had I given it more thought, I would have given all dim. in metric

my card is an ATI 9800 pro, thenx
is 35mm is a good size ?
thenx.

Hope this helps

as i can bild enother one with biger size for the GPU
thenx.
