Water-Cooled X2900 XTX Card Pictured

[PV5150]

We have a pic of ATI's R600, but in a watercooled flavour. Apparently ATi's AIB partners can choose to use it, design their own or use a 3rd party water-cooler from Thermaltake.

Eeek, I hope that card comes with a good warranty. TT + Water = imminent death.

"I'm sorry ATI, but I wouldn't let Thermaltake within a sniff of my R600 thank you very much."

lol. nice looking though.

Awesome card, BAD TT! :smileysho

This cooling solution is probably provided by Aavid Thermalloy

You guys need to read better

And you assume too much

 

[WC Annihilus]

Meh, I'll still go with the fact that it ain't TT cause it seriously doesn't look like one of their products. Not flashy enough

I never thought TT watercooling was that bad.. a mate has it, it works ok if you dont OC

Kinda self defeating really! Watercooling and no overclock :fish:

These may be the most powerful cards ever but i think they're power usages and heat output are going to be just way too high.

Still wouldn't say no if someone offered me one though!

 

[FarFarAway]

True

Just lol at the water cooling though :rollingla

I just noticed that the card has 1x 8-Pin PCIE and 1x 6-Pin PCIE....why not make them both the same for christ's sake.

I read somewhere (may not have been totally trustworthy) that you can use 2x 6 pin PCI-E but the overclocking options won't show up in CCC. You need the 8 pin connector to enable this as it needs more power to overclock then the 2x 6 pins can give.

If that's true then it sounds like this card is gonna consume some serious wattage if overclocked :s

 

[Doddsy]

It's gonna consume some serious wattage at stock speeds, never mind overclocked!

Its more to bring the CPU temp down then to support the higher temps caused by OC.
