Hmmm, if the accepted specs(ish) of the card we now think we know are to be believed, this may be one of those cards that really do need watercooling. Usually I always thought of it as for show thing, all be it with some nice results, but with the TDP and underload amounts of power these things need, water might be a valid way to go. Specifically in an SLI set-up._NL_Lt.EngineerFox wrote:
The blocks are made of 100% copper and cover the whole card, including memory-chips, NVIO chips and mosfets.
Don't need big blocks such as Zalmann which also consists of alu. Copper cools better than alu so less fatness is needed..Sup wrote:

So basically you're saying if we get a 280GTX we don't need thisBell wrote:
Fuck me, there is a rumour going round now that a 280 GTX is running 30% hotter than a 2900XT. There is no way you could get away with an OC or even SLI less you went with water blocks.................
Least, if that rumour is to be believed, does tie in with the huge power consumption that is already accepted around the net.

Well you wouldnt want a full sized copper waterblock. The weight would destroy the card over time..Sup wrote:

Lol wut? Only the bottom side of the block needs to be copper, the water does the rest._NL_Lt.EngineerFox wrote:
Why would you want acryll on your waterblocks, so you can see your coolant make sguigly lines, better of making it FULL COPPER

I rather have full copper.
I'm crazy, no you are, this was about waterblocks, then it went to sperm cells, then it went to baloney, the hell is wrong with you?!.Sup wrote:
