One thing i will say is i hate DFI boards, i had three different ones and none would work with 2 set of different memory in dual channel mode, i then switched to an Asus board and both memory now works. So fussy DFI boards.

[nyzrox]

Yellow standard, Orange stuff like TCCD and BH5...

I don't get why you need the most powerful.. will you really need it/the processing power.. i don't particularly think so.

Anyway, the 7950's haven't got a block at the moment though IIRC some company is in the middle of developing one... can't remember the name

[doom56]

WOW i not seen that video before Doom - great music and cheers for the mention on the credits ;)

[doom56]

hey you got me started and always supported ya btw next month keep an eye out for my BIG order from ya :)

so can you find out about the 7950 cooling block as i donno if danger den are working on it so can you keep me updated please?

[RevolutioN]

Nice video.. sorry about the comment before.. looking back.. it seems kinda' harsh.

I thought that silver bucket was a bin but wasn't really sure lol... might do that to mine :P

I have flicked through a couple of sites... and found out Aquacomputer are currently developing one.

This is directly taken from www.aquacomputer.de forums and should be a bit of help :)

The new aquagrafx 7950GX2 can be ordered now. It's already produced and is currently in the anodizing and engraving process. The block should go into shipment at the end of this week.

The aquagrafx 7950GX2 cools the GPU of both blocks with its dynamic spring mounted core for an optimal heat transfer. The block also cools the RAM, PCIe-switch and the voltage regulators. A thermal pad for the regulators is provided with the block.

After assembly both blocks will be connected via a bridge. It's easy to handle and the o-ring seals ensure that everything is leakproof. The water flows consecutively through both blocks.

The second block (not visible in the picture) is larger and cools the PCIe-switch too.

Price for the aquagrafx 7950GX2 is 119 Euro.

Here is a first picture of a block which hasn't been anodized and graven yet:

And that's how it will look when it is finished:

Well i think that looks great tbh

Is the description correct - it says "The water flows consecutively through both blocks."

My interpretation of that is the water flows in and around the first block then moves on and around the second block just like normal Sli blocks (http://www.coolercases.co.uk/images/sli/nv-68_sli.jpg)

But from what i can see in the pictures it looks like water will enter the first block and flow round the second in parallel though i could be wrong.

Nonetheless i'm impressed and looking forward to seeing what the others manufacturers come up with.

Cheers Rev

very intresting but some reson i want a danger den one lol so it will have a clear top on it lol well i will get the card last in my list so it gives time for them to make the block

BTW ive ordered the Asus M2N32-SLi-DLX nForce 590 SLi (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
AND the AMD 4800+ Dual core CPU for it

what do you think?
