Swiftech to release Full Cover for Radeon HD6970

[gabe]

We are pleased to announce the upcoming HD6970 true full cover water bock for Radeon 6900 series. The True full Cover Design solution uses all available mounting holes, and therefore prevents the PCB to bend, either during shipping, or handling. It also protects fragile components during handling/installation of the assembly.

GPU cooling: 0.6 x 0.6mm pin matrix
Moderate pressure drop
Liquid cooled VRM's with hard contact to block for perfect TIM
Compatible with large compression fittings
