It's probably way to early to post something like this, but I just couldn't help myself.
What do you guys think about water cooling the GeforceFX 5900 Ultra? As many you probably know, this is nvidia's latest card. The interesting thing about it is that it is essentially a 5800 Ultra with lots more memory bandwidth, a more optmizied core, and --get this-- a slower core clock speed. Apparently nvidia has scaled the core back from 500 mhz to 450 in order to generate less heat. They did this so that a less powerful air cooling system would be needed (as opposed to the old "flow FX", aka the dustbuster). My point is simply this: If you were to water cool the FX 5900, would you be able to ramp the core clockspeed back up to 500 mhz? It seems like it should be capable of it, and if you could, you'd have an insanely fast card (seeing as how the 5900 is already faster than the 5800 by a decent margin). Has anyone seen anything like this yet? I know the card was just released, but I'm sure blocks are on the way. Let me know what you think.
