Heatkiller should have blocks in about two weeks.
Which according to google means roughly "The cooler is planned for the next 14 days."Quote:

I don't suppose anyone knows the length of a 5870 naked? I've seen a number of reviews mentioning 10.5" or 11", but they never say where they are measuring from (i.e. just the PCB or right to the back of the case) and I'm not sure that it'll fit into my Lian Li 343 case...
11 inches. The cooler runs the length of the PCB.Quote:

So the Bitspower block will workon both the 5870 and 5850?
wow BP block looks epic
block should be separate btw hence the name on the front, think its likely pretty dam similar though
kinda like EK's block, designed the same, just making it accomdate the diff card :)
Yes Baulten that is correct :)
BP matt black blocks should have gold logo like there new blocks for x58 classified x3 & x4 ;) .
Sweet; I'm still deciding between cards... I'll probably go with the 5850 is a full cover is available soon.
I forgot to mention that the Komodo 5800 waterblock will be compatible with both the 5850 and the 5870 :-) Unfortunately, the heatsinks will have to remain separate models due to mechanical constraints.Quote:

Renders only at the moment, and I'm not entirely sure what "kurze Lieferzeit" translates to, so it may be only in pre-order stage at present, although the description below mentions nothing to confirm.
I am hoping that the Heatkiller blocks use the same connector design for CF that their GT200 blocks did. It just makes it so much cleaner and simpler than messing around with tiny barbs and short hoses or D-plugs.
SoulsCollective, you are far behind :D
The delivery of the aquagratix HD5870 starts tomorrow. At the moment it can be ordered for a special price of 69.90 EUR (~87.00 USD w/o German VAT); later it will cost 79.90 EUR.
Special Crossfire connectors will follow in the next days so you don't have to fumble around with bent connectors and tubes.
The technical facts:
- electrolytic copper base
- slotted structure above the GPU
- special polish for the GPU and RAM surface
- spacers for mounting at the VRM site
- stainless steel cover with laser engraving
- plexiglas connection terminal with G1/4" threads in both directions
And a few pics:

Hey, to the best of my knowledge this is the first time this has been posted here - so blame your publicity dept :p:Quote:

Looking at those above piccies, though, it looks like you could plumb each side of the block, and thus have a straight run between blocks in Crossfire without messing about with elbows. Correct?Quote:

Right :)
Excellent. You might want to fix your product page then, before anyone else is similarly misinformed - you in fact do not need the 90-degree elbow fittings to use these blocks in a Crossfire setup.
Do this mean it will or will not work on both? :confused:Quote:
