What a nice block, cools the mem too, I can see this one being a big seller!

I'm waiting on my Mach II before I do any benchmarks, I'm still in two minds which motherboard to use but thats besides the point. This does appear to be a nice block, its more complicated to install than the maze 4 etc etc due to the nature of the card - not only does this cool the memory and obviously the gpu, it also cools the voltage regulator (the bit on the far right of the block) and it also has the pleasing blue LED around the centre. I will be doing a like-for-like comparison with the DD blocks when they appear - probably the best thing about this one though is the price, direct from Germany its about 100 Euros or so, which is cheaper than the competition at the moment.

thats a bloody nice block Phil, depending on how much better it overclocks (as its cooling the chips and voltage regulator too) it might swing me into getting a 6800 Ultra instead!

How much does the block set you back ?

I think it was about 100 Euros all in which works out quite good.

thats arround £65 aint it? if so, not bad for such a large block! considering the DD is like £40 or so and it much smaller

I dont know where you got £40 from for the DD block, retail is $124!
