Not in my budget but this looks like a great set up.

I bet a XFX plus purchasing the EK block gets you cheaper and better support than Powercolor's stellar 2 yr limited warranty. Liquid plus a vendor with lousy warranty doesn't sound like a very good :banana::banana::banana::banana:tail to me.

Would XFX honor that warranty in Europe?
This product is coming from a German WEB site.
I don't know what the warranty is in Germany.
Would XFX back a modified HD5850 with full warranty in the USA?

Anyone have internals for the block? IIRC Powercolor doesn't have the best track record for water blocks. It looks like the metal is silver shiny, which means it is either nickel-plated copper (awesome) or alu (awful).

The water cooler which is used is out of the house which bears the name of EK model FC5870.
Second line of the article. :rolleyes:

The block is EK
Whats with the warranty issues?
Powercolor is not providing warranty for this product?
And why are we comparing Powercolor to XFX again?

Wow, I really didn't see that. I had to use ctrl+f to find it. I need to stop posting so late at night.
