I got one... lol.
I want everything fit inside my lian-li V2000B Plus at reasonable level and noticed how hot the x850XT PE runs with stock cooler. Reading up review, it looks like another air cooling method isn't going to help me much at all as I wanted to keep my v mod in... :P
After some thought, I remember I had koolance GPU 180 block. Browsing ebay shows Aquagate and immediately, I am hooked. Grab one from e-bay merchant and receive it today... Quick setup, and I am off with my X850XT PE volt mod enabled :) with v-gpu core 1.6v the temp goes up to 55c on GPU core @ 620/600. Which isn't too bad considering same thing with BIP3 + MCP600 + SilverProp Fusion HL with 2 120mm Panaflo M1a @ 7v will do about 42c loaded with same setting. I doubt air cooling of any kind will even get near the 60c mark with voltage and speed I was playing with short of maybe big CPU HS mounted on GPU :)
Quick observation of unit leads me to beleive putting another fan to pull air might help temps even more as if I increase fan speed, temp do decrease greeatly. Nothing extreme here but this certainly is nice find for me...
