All I need to know is what cooling mounts this uses, I got ome blocks in storage waiting for a decent card to put them onto.

So.. who will be the first company to slap 3 GPUs on a single PCB? Singlecard Tri-fire anyone?
Here is the naked PCB design with the angled bridge chip.

cannot mount single core waterblocks with this design, there arent 4 mounting holes around each core.
that gecube is sick looking, while I have no need for 4 monitor outputs, two is enough. I could some see needing that
Gonna wait this one out till the real numbers on the nvidia card come out. My bday is coming up in march, gonna have to bug the gf for one

Wait until every last model is available until you make a buy. Prices should square out by then as well. Just my opinion.
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

Easily solved problem. Make a backplate that hits all the holes and use one or two from bridge chip holes, or simply make a bottom strap for holes and use the top two as well.cannot mount single core waterblocks with this design, there arent 4 mounting holes around each core.
If you have a cooling question or concern feel free to contact me.
Not sure i totally follow anything you said, but regardless of that you helped me come up with a very good idea for mounting my pots on my 3870x2
Once the AIBs come to use smaller bridge chips (the current PLX 5-series is whopping 37*37mm footprint), the overall board layout will take down in size just enough.
so the bridge chip doesnt need cooling then, thats good news i wonder who is going to be the first to try dual dtek fuzion GPU's on the referance version (and maybe a passive on the bridge)

*whewt* the first time ive said anything sig worthy.
Dunno if thats a good thing....
My idea has developed to what i think now is a workable mounting system for two pots. Hopefully ill make a ghetto stab at it this weekend for some LN2.
there's a review of the gecube on the german site hartware.net. (google translate link)
they say the fans are not temp controlled and pretty noisy
Good because the temp control on my reference design one is terrible, in fact it never ramp up from what i can hear.
well that might be because its still silent when the fan gets faster. just like the 8800GTS 640MB
believe me, at 100% it is loud
two 6 pins work

id be concerned bout that bridge chip i knwo when itouch the reverse of my standard one its always fairly warm around the bridge chip..... so im not sure id go for that card IMO mainly becuase id be worried by temps, and i cant see there being many aftermarket coolers that will fit since its none standard?
