Waterblock for Nvida 6800

[Jagercola]

Anyone know of a waterblock out for the Nvida 6800 series of video cards?

While not being perfect (many here will complain about the 1/4" size). BFG is marketing a card that comes retail with a water cooling solution.

I also have read that gainward is following suit with a water cooled solution from retail, but I have not scene much in details as of yet.

Finally it is great to see water cooling becoming more and more main stream, regardless of the solution.

While I would love to see a Geforce 6800 block that cools the memory and GPU that has 1/2" ID inlets/outlets from a major retailer like Danger Den or DTek I highly doubt its ever going to happen. I have no idea what they would cost but I think they'd be terribly expensive and probably is not worth the cost of designing and building one to the retailers. I do think that anyone who does design one and brings it to market will probably be able to charge whatever they wish for it and people will pay it, me probably being one of those people.

http://www.dangerden.com/ has a new Geforce 6800 block prototype thats cools the GPU and RAM on their front page. They mention it should be avalible for retail sometime in July. My only concern is it looks like the fittings in the pictures are 1/4" ID and if this is the only option Im going to be very disappointed.

No way Danger Den would use 1/4 inch fittings. All of their current blocks have the option for 3/8 or 1/2 inch fittings. I don't see why they would suddenly switch standards. They don't even sell 1/4" id tubing.

Great news !! Hope they'll do preorders. I guess they'll fly out pretty fast.
