    Quite lame...only need a cheap one for the core...don't need aluminum blocks on memory unless they're stuck on and even then..would prefer copper.

    Flow will be fully laminar. It`s just a fancy expensive toy - nothing really special

    OMG...nice millwork...restriction city! It is a nice full cover block, but seems WAY to restrictive, all I want is a Maze4. If you don't have a full cover block do you think we will have to cool that front mystery chip? I don't see myself buying 2 Maze's for 1 card. I guess actually this is what we will probably get, the new improved Maze5, after DD tweaks it to fit on a G80. After seeing the shots of the card naked someone should try a CPU block.

    That is a good looking part . If I used I would Anodize it inside and out . Black would be cool

    the stock cooler cools the main core, the secondary core, the memory and the vrms, so if a normal maze 4 etc. waterblock is used, cooling for the other component has to be considered. Whilst ramsinks easily solve the memory cooling, the vrm's and the secondary core may need some more creative thinking.

    For pure ease of use I could see the all in one 'full' blocks being popular for the 8800, although theres no excuse to go aluminium.

    I want to see the insides first, just like every other piece of hardware.... For all we know, it could be one flat piece of aluminium inside... No good...

    So this DOES cool the little secondary chip (or so it look like, see 2nd pic far right, the square contact surface) but it's a simple flow tube over it?

    Something tells me that I/O chip ain`t that hot. Simple chipset radiator should cool it just fine - with good airflow of course. The only concerne is mounting system. I guess we will see few air coolers with bundle of ramsinks for this card pretty soon.

    Just think how heavy that block would be if it were made of copper.

    Made of copper with a delrin top I bet it wouldnt weigh much, if any, more than the stock coolers on the X1900XT/7900GTX.

    I'm no expert on WC at all, but all those bends and turns are going to degrade performance in some way...

    Yup they will, a couple of wide, sweeping turns would have been better IMHO. I'm still confused as to how water is supposed to flow through the copper section.

    Looks OK, but think it'll perform horse poo.

    Not through, but over in a thin layor.

    is this the only reply people from watercooling ever say anymore?

    I swear, the last 5-6 waterblocks anyone posted in this area... all anyone says is...

    it's restrictive.

    yet somehow... the blocks in question always perform great...

    I am begining to wonder, if anyone even has a standard for what "restrictive" means... other then "instant reply to all new waterblocks"

    Most full blocks seem like a waste.

    It'd make more sense if they turned the copper section by 90 degrees.

    Looks like the designers inadvertantly chose form over function here.....but damn does it have form.
