aquagrafx GTX 680

[Shoggy]

The new NVIDIA graphics card GTX 680 has been released a few moments ago and I guess you are interested to know that we already provide a fullcover waterblock for this card. The aquagrafx GTX 680 is made of pure electrolyte copper and optimized for a great cooling performance and flow rate. The modular design allows to exchange the connection terminal with longer variants called twinConnect to easily setup a SLI system.

The block is CNC milled and checked for tolerances less than <0,1mm. All contact surfaces to GPU, RAM and voltage regulators are high gloss polished. The area above the GPU features a micro structure for an very efficient heat transfer. Also the RAM and voltage regulators are covered by the internal flow path of the water.

A few photos and we also have an installation video available on YouTube.

Excellent work! Always like AC blocks! Good looks and performance!

Only issue I have with this and every other AC block -- good luck using compression fittings, especially 1/2" ID. Excellent looking... not practical.

45 or 90 angle adapter? Seems pretty practical to me.

Plus absolutely great looking blocks!

why would u put both barbs on the same side? i would say that you are rather impractical.

if you're running an mATX/ITX build, case space may not be available to use both sides.

Nickel Version available soon ?

Would love to know this as well. aquagrafx blocks always look the absolute best IMO.

Maybe a stupid question, when the 4GB cards come out do you think it will be compatible?

Great Looking block Shoggy. I have a technical question..
I have a huge space issue in my case, mostly height. I was wondering how the 680 block/card compare to the 580 size/height wise.

thanks for any help/info you can provide me with.

I'm wondering about 4GB coverage too, since I'm thinking about getting the Evga FTW 4GB as the HC Classified won't be out in a few months, and regular HC version is just 2GB.

A nickel plated variant will be available but this will take around two weeks.

The GTX 680 block has a height of 9.5mm.

Will the existing twinConnect kit be compatible with new GTX 680 blocks? I have 2 EVGA GTX 680's with Backplate, will the existing (evga) backplate interfere with (twinConnect kit) & (GTX 680 waterblock)?

Another questions is I see 2 versions for twinConnect kits, one with 1-2 slot and the other is 5 slots. The motherboard I have is Asus Rampage II Extreme, which twinConnect kit should I'd be using? This is for 2 GTX 680's.

Maybe I can use the 5 slot kit for 2 cards and it also allows me to add another video card in the future to make it Tri-SLi?


Thank you

Shoggy, will there be a block for GTX670?

Shoggy, will there be a block for GTX670?

Yes, of course.

[phinix_mike]

Yes, of course.

That's great! Is it going to be for those short PCB reference cards?
Cards going live today - when could we expect blocks for them?

[frank anderson]

Shoggy for President !!

Will you be making any back plates for this?

Question on a side note "non topic related".. was a back plate for a GTX 580 + AquagraFX 580 ever released? I don't recall seeing one ever... Thx~

[Shoggy]

Should be the long and short version. No real idea on the date since the demand of other stuff is killing us at the moment. Likely that it will take 3 weeks.

No idea on the backplate so far. It will depend on the general demand of this block.

We never produced a backplate for the GTX 580.
