Official eVGA 780i Discussion/Review/Overclock/Guide Thread

[jas420221]

As far as i can see theres a connection (maybe a heatpipe underneath the cover ? ) from southbridge heatsink to northbridge heatsink/waterblock.
So yes, you missed what i ment

I have the board (not the FTW). It has the same heatsink sans the watercooled NB. There is no watercooling on the SB period. No water comes close to the SB (from what I can see). Its just a heatsink. They are connected, but by no means would I call it watercooled, directly or indirectly.

JAS i don't think we're talking about the same board. EVGA just announced the 780i FTW. There is a combo water block/air cool heat sink on the NB. Look at the pictures for the 780i FTW closely, you'll see the barbs they are partially hidden. Its also described in the press release for the 780i FTW.

Yes we are, I even referenced the difference.. And we are talking about the SOUTHBRIDGE that does not appear to be w/c, not the NORTHBRIDGE that has the watercooling.

See above.
