Danger Den and EK will make them. Just be patient (it got released just yesterday !! )

I also realized it's probably the only card which make using a full cover block mandatory. I cannot imagine fitting 2 MCW60 and Enzotech ramsinks due to the way they are built unless you use a extension kit to widen the gap.

Darthbevis, where can a guy get benching station like the one in your pictures?

[Xilikon]

DD Torture Rack ?

I'm looking for a nice benching station that can be left set up and not have my kids destroy something when I'm not looking. There was one in the watercooled case gallery, that had dual 120.3's running vertically on the sides that was nice, I'll see if I can locate the post number for reference.

Oops, I see it clearly states what he is using. I would assume that it has been modified.

Mine is a custom job by DD but they sell these which are better benching stations:

Just stepped up to 2 x 9800 GX2s - will wait for the adventurous to sort out water cooling blocks and survive on air for a while ... (altho it breaks my heart to give up my pretty nickel-plated EK 8800 GTX blocks )

I know, I just stepped up my 8800 Ultra for one, can't go wrong for $26 shippped... Now I have to sell my Ultra KO and my two EK nickel blocks so I can get my second GX2. With my extra parts I have I can almost make a second system, sad thing is everything is less than six months old. I upgrade way too much...

Nice,

A little small and resrictive for my taste, but great benches none the less.

Very very nice,

andyc

I own a DD waterblox plus.

Very nice case for the size/price. Good for a small bench, but you'd have trouble fitting enough rad space for your rig in it

[sonofander]

Ok, well I just snapped and ordered 2 of these cards... Need to get water in their general direction ASAP!

Eddy, where for art thou???

I am sure they can do custom for a price

[safan80]

No worries guys, we will make the block as soon as I get one gard in my hands.
Nvidia works very stupid... no chance to get a card before release...
grrrrrrrr....

I'll hold you to this statement.

[DarthBeavis]

I'll hold you to this statement.

Be careful . . .word on the street is Eddy has a legion of ninja midgets at his disposal . . .

[NaeKuh]

We'll see,

I plan on getting 3 9800GTX's when they come out. The winner stays, the loser doesn't

lol and i send you a thank you PM for telling me which is better, and saving me either 500x2 or 300x3 :T

[gojirasan]

I would save my money for a custom spacerkit and SLI bridge and use some regular GPU blocks like we could with the 7950gx2

I'd say no dice on the spacer kit idea unless that ribbon cable connecting the two cards is not only removable but replaceable with a longer version. There seems to be zero slack in the one that comes with the card. Actually it does look removable. So maybe there's a chance. I think the spacer method would have to be the cheapest and maybe the best solution.

I seems to me it would be something of a challenge to get a waterblock to make good contact with the cores on the inside of the sandwich. What about the RAM chips etc....?

I just installed 2 EK X2 blocks in the past two days and they touch everything that needs to be touched.

But for some reason, sliding the cooling into the middle of the sandwich doesn't inspire too much confidence.

Does anyone have pics of the GX2 naked yet?

Also as you can see from the pics, you cannot widen the gap between the cards to fit two standard blocks unless you can find a longer version of the ribbon cable they use

[sonofander]

hurry Eddie hurry... these cards are HOT!!! lol

with LED holes.. i think that would look pretty cool

[Luka_Aveiro]

If I had one of thoses, I would put 2 regular waterblocks facing each other (if that could fit ), ramsinks on the mems, vrms etc and some silent fans cooling it.
