thats a bit cr*p, i hate it when manufacturers show amazing concepts and then the real thing is rubbish

wow alot of the cards have missing the black heatisnk on the pcb, Guess its a PALIT problem.. lol
Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?
Agreed +1. well put NaeKuh.....
just to clarify some issues within this thread, take a look here guys, Seems like the gigabyte 1gb 460 is quiet as...

what about core blocks and swiftech unisink?
what about palit gainward cards?
I don't Swiftech announced a heatsink for it yet.
Any one here buy a MSI N460GTX CYCLONE card? Just bought one for a friends build 1GB versional back in stock at the egg.
Going by that tweaktown review the MSI N460GTX CYCLONE is the quietest @56.7 not bad at all also good OCer.

Half of card price for full cover? :/
I'll keep on promoting universal GPU waterblock usage for low end cards. They do the job, are cheaper, are reusable after upgrades. Leave expensive full cover blocks which are specific only to some particular model of gpu for top-end cards where wb price isn't that high compared to that of card itself, where you won't upgrade card that soon and so on.
I think Koolance's GPU-220 is the only core-only block that would support the GTX460....reference mounting holes are not a square.
Guapa5000 beat me to it. Our GTX 460 block is now available. Pics are below. It uses 0.5mm microfins on the GPU and VRM like our GTX 480 block.
(Just to show it CAN be run without LED's):

Wow, wicked inner design Tim! Also love the blue Koolance logo

It's a shame you guys didn't do a GTX470 block that had the LED setup also. Think that would have sealed it for me.

Yeah. It's really easy to do, though. The acrylic on the VID-NX470 is the same thickness as the VID-NX460 (8mm). We use 3mm wide LED's. So a couple small holes in the bottom would do it:
Hopefully e-tailers will start showing stock here soon.
Was it really necessary to get water over mosfets (koolance block)?
It looks PITA to assembly IMO.
I just hate too many orings when it comes to opening and cleaning blocks.

VR microfins *might* be considered overkill here. But if you're already water cooling the GTX 460, why not go all the way?
Tim
How about because ppl have been screaming for MOSFETs to be actively cooled?

Tackleberry is referring to the triple plated bridge (or whatever NaeKuh and Bei Fei named it when they designed it for mobo blocks) which seems to pass over some capacitors. It got me wondering as well as to why a more 'normal' method wasn't possible

Looks like they had to dodge some caps. Honestly, I don't really see a problem with assembly, but then, I'm pretty mechanically inclined.Tackleberry is referring to the triple plated bridge (or whatever NaeKuh and Bei Fei named it when they designed it for mobo blocks) which seems to pass over some capacitors.

That's a bummer,considering I have a ref GTX460 coming in... What are the chances swiftech will release an adapter plate for MCW60/80 ? Can we put you in charge of finding that out,Vapor ?

According to the Hardwareluxx link posted on page 1, AquaComputer are designing a block for the GTX460.

So, we might have a good looking block for the 460 after all.
Now, as for people suggesting we just get a 480... what's the point? Rumor is that the 480 will be phased out, its next iteration likely based on dual GF104s. Don't see a point in buying a card that's been out-revisioned.
Is this a single slot block?

Are you telling you never actually opened block and have it cleaned?Looks like they had to dodge some caps. Honestly, I don't really see a problem with assembly, but then, I'm pretty mechanically inclined.
And then reassemble it?
