News - Danger Den preps GeForce GTX 480 waterblock

[pricey4907]

Just need to see BFG making some ATI 5870's with DD blocks. XFX have jumped ship now, why not BFG.

Alphacool and EK are usually pretty good on the money side (and good designs too). I usually prefer double sided blocks where possible (i.e. with a backplate to cover the memory on the other side of the pcb)."

the 400 series has no memory on the back though does it ?

WOW! the actual card is a complete rip off by its self......and to run it you need further £150 ish on water cooling.

anyone else joining me in a goodbye tost to nvidia?

I'd add a waterblock to any card I bought The drop in temps is very substantial (as is the lack of noise). Rumours of a fast to follow rev b fermi abound - also keen to see what ATI come back with too..
