    Ahhhh right. Well, the far apart 6pin and the 8 pin connectors narrowed it down to a 4870X2 (not nVidia as the placements are incorrect) , and obviously it's watercooled, maybe the one made by Diamond?

    Umm... it's under NDA and therefore I'm not allowed to say anything... cos I'm kind of a diamond geezer like that.

    Re: The whole kit and caboodle

    Ok i'm gonna have a cheeky pun at (AMD's Radeon HD 4870 x2 R700/RV770) presented on a black PCB with either a stock or aftermarket cooler slapped on it. Which makes me wonder if there is also some sort of liquid cooling system involved in this whole kit and caboodle pipeline?

    Re: The whole kit and caboodle

    Right. After alot of searching, I found This picture. Now I know the card is a normal 4870, BUT the cooler looks exactly the same (obviously with that asetek sticker off) because of the indents, and the black water block. SO this is my answer. A Diamond 4870X2 with Asetek watercooling block. Phew!
