Any word on if they are working on a GTX 295 Block?? or when they plan to release it?
I would have thought that the 295 block would come out first due to it being availible to the public for about 2 or 3 more weeks than the 285

Also it does'nt look like this block is setup for SLI cooling. I may be wrong but i just dont see how you could use those SLI Bridges. It's nice that they cooled the smaller chip by the dvi ports as well.

Yes, you are right.. however in SLI configurations you can try using "L" connections:

What are the clocks?
I quote the article: "720MHz for the GPU, 2772MHz for the memory and 1620MHz for the shader"

Too bad their hydrocoppers and FTW editions are always way overpriced... I'm seeing prices over 500 euro's for this thing...
Also for the SLI thing isn't their a barb fitting on top of the block to allow direct connection to the 2nd card ?
