Does anyone know of any water blocks made for the X800 Pro? Cant seem to find anything that says it fits the card specifically.

AFAIK, the x800's use the same mounting system as the 9800's...

Rumor around the mill says that DANGER DEN has already made X800 waterblocks and memory cooling block prototypes... So they should be going into mass production soon... I don't know how soon... but just wait around and see if you can...

9700/9800/x800 have same mounting holes around the core. Im using my old 9700pro WB on my x800 right now.

its not 1/2, i believe its 3/8.... Plus it uses aluminum, its not all copper... And that can sometimes spell trouble (corrosion and what not)...

its aluminum, it costs 129$, and its a waste of money. Get a gpu WB and some ramsinks, as long as you have some airflow in your case the ramsinks will cool the memory just fine.

The new memory they use on x800 cards are limited not by heat but by their internals. You can be that the chips, being made for such an expensive card at such high frequencies, are speed-binned - so the rating of 2ns on the pros is usually accurate. Extra volts don't really net much either.
