You state that the title of fastest factory overclocked 8800GTX would go to a water-cooled card from EVGA, but the link you provide is to a page selling the more commonly known BFG card.
I have also heard that EVGA will be releasing (have released?) an 8800GTX with a pre-fitted water-block, to partner with a 680i-SLI motherboard with FOUR! (count-em, 4!) waterblocks (CPU, NB, SB, VRM), but have not seen any details.
Other than that, a nice review overall. Although personally, if I wanted to water cool an 8800GTX or two ($$$ :eek:) I would go for a proper water cooling setup, not a noisy barely adequate space-hog (sorry Thermaltake, not a fan). Given that most people planning to water cool are going to want to nuke the main sources of heat (oddly enough, that is now high-end GPUs, even more so than CPUs, 150W+ vs 135W QX6800), a more complete (and paradoxically probably quieter with low speed 120mm fan(s) on the radiator) solution seems in order.
Steve hb,
Scan has been moving URLs around so it should link to an EVGA card. Anyway, the BFG exists and does seem to be the fastest around.
We did see the four-block board at CeBIT this year

I agree with your 'proper' watercooling soluiton.
