If people want full cover waterblock they will have to wait for danger den or ek to release them and they will pay twice the price of mcw60. The full cover waterblock is usually good for one generation of cards and unsable with next. Not mentioning it is hard to sell it.Sleepy_Steve said:What about everything else on the card that gets got.

Here's an idea from swiftech how to cool 8800gtx with mcw60

The gts and gtx have similar mounting places, so it will work on both. The difference between gts and gtx is that the other to be cooled coponents are or might be in different places. That the reason we have full waterblock for gtx but not yet for gtsjamescardenas07 said:

A bit off topic here... does it make any sense to passivley cool the back side of the card at all?? (assuming clearance is a non issue)
Like under the ram, core, and other things??

I'm probably wrong on this but I thought swiftech would make one of those Ramcool blocks to cool all the other parts .

I guess they Ram cool will be out soon.
If the block come with a giant heatsink on it from the factory, will little ramsinks be able to keep the ram cool?
The Ram on my 9800pro gets hot will copper heatsinks, the 8800 must roast.

They're copper, trust me. I tried trimming one down a little with a Dremel, they're 100% copper. But the Dremel thing did not work, it just ripped it up. Imagine trying to shorten a clothes hanger with a bench grinder.ziggo0 said:
On a better note, they can be bent w/out breaking ...

Will just heatsinks work alright? I have a brand new 60b that I was going to sell since i'm picking up a 8800gts, but if I can get away with using it and heatsinks on everything thats what I'll do.

Yeah, I honestly didn't have any douts. I had to bent one out like a flower because the barb of my MAZE4 went right over one, worked like a charm and bent back perfectly!
