Yeah that could happen, it's a risk you'd have to take.
I have suspicions though that because an 8800 GPU die is so HUGE, that the concentrated center heat removal provided by a nozzle is less important than that for a CPU.
The MCW-60 is only a couple of degrees behind the GFX in performance and it has the much larger pin style of the old apogee non gt blocks, so I think that also supports the design need around something that removes heat from a larger area.
I'm really tempted to abandon my CPU block project for a bit to focus on a GPU block, I think there is much more room for improvement here.
If you do, I will have your babies.
Well maybe not, but I will definitely buy a block :p
But does anyone know if the 8800s have an IHS, or is the die actually that big?
