View Full Version : Future EK GPU Waterblocks
With the slew of new graphics cards coming out, I was wondering if EK has any new FC blocks in the pipeline?
Specifically:
GTX470/GTX480
HD5870 Eyefinity Edition
Asus HD5870 Matrix
Thanks Eddy!

HD5870 Eyefinity Edition - I think follows refference PCB design
Asus HD5870 Matrix - Can't confirm
Best regards, Eddy
Sorry for little offtopic but are there any plans for a fullboard block for Crosshair IV Formula and Extreme Eddy?

Hi!
5870 Sapphire Vapor-X - YES
Best regards, Eddy
Eddy, do you have any design yet? Also, do you have an eta for this wb?
I read that both cards have the same pcb, is that true?
The picture above shows the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X edition card on the bottom with the reference based ASUS EAH5870 Voltage Tweak video card sitting above it. Both cards feature identical PCB's, but the cooler differences make a major difference when it comes to both performance and aesthetics. Last month, Sapphire revealed that the vapor chamber technology used in SAPPHIRE Vapor-X coolers comes from Microloops. According to Sapphire they are the only company using this cooling technology on video cards.

What about some of the 5970 cards with 4GB of GDDR5? Sapphire, XFX, etc? Any water blocks planned for those?
