Really six ATI cores possible? <-- immediate no brainer...
Besides, I've got SSD fever.

GX2 have bigger max. fps sometimes, due to higher clocked shaders, but otherwise GTX 280 have mostly better min.fps which is important, at least to me. :up:Quote:

I can vouch for the P5Q pro, it's really simple and clocks well. And cheap too considering the features.Quote:

When they are installed it looks very nice ;)

So you have got an impression how it looks when the backplate is also watercooled.
I Hope the will be also a nice cooler for the new 4870 and 4870x2 ;)

Is there a reason you got 1 side acetal and 1 side plexi?
Ek having the backplate on the gtx 280block sure doesn't make it single slot anymore.
you don't have to use the back plate. I'm going to get the EK GTX 280 block because of the backplate.Quote:

well the 4870 has been released, but what about a water block for it?
what's the expected date for the block?
I'm interested in this aswell.Quote:

look and EK blocks in general. big ups to eddy (soildwork SS > bad render) :up:
i hope the old 3870 blocks fits the new 4870 cards, this will be a great savings for usQuote:

Personally, I hope the EK 3870 block will fit well enough on the 4850 card......and am waiting for someone to try.
It might. EK could just release a screw-in mosfet section.
shoggy i asked a mod to see if we can get your name color upgraded since your a vendor rep.
If you get contacted its because i put in a recomendation for ya.
very true didnt even think of that :up:Quote:
