    Is that 1/2" hose?

    Any issues with the GPU heating up the RAM or vice-versa?

    Looks sweet though, quality choice of kit as opposed to generic rad/pump What are the fan specs?

    Overall the performance seems to be sweeeeeet. We need to get some proper Benchmarks up with heat figs etc,

    Fan spec is YS TECH 120mm 2.16w 12v (running at 7v) 4pin, 1800rpm

    As well as the stupidly good performance one of the main focus's was to keep the noise levels right down so this baby runs pretty much silent....

    How's it fare vs. a Rad9800 Pro? Is this just a Rad9800 Pro Ultimate copy?

    Although in all fairness that should have been nVidia's job when they designed the chip

    Will the card be available sans pump/res/fan/rad/tubing? I can see there being a market for current watercooling users who might like to incorporate the card into their current watercooling systems.

    1.> No Benchmarks + Competitor analysis is available at the moment as we would prefer independant reviews to be printed so they are 100% unbiast.

    2.> To my knowlage this is not a watercooled product so how could we be copying it?

    As far as I know we are the first Graphics Card manufacturer in the world to produce a fully watercooled out of the box Graphics card.
