Default 2900XT cooler looks promising

I have been following this for some time now. Its a dual card cooler from CoolIT Systems for the 2900XT card. It uses their TEC technology and a pre-assembled water cooling solution. This would make hte 2900 imo very overclockable I would think. Also it would remove the huge loud coolers they come with. Im posting a link to FrozenCPU for a price point and a link to CoolIT Systems. Also has anyone ever used some of the CoolIT CPU coolers they look like they work pretty well for a pre-assembled unit. IT looks like they are also making a unit for the 3870's also.

That looks interesting, but it is a hefty price for something that is only usable on one card. If you get a standard waterblock, at least it will fit your next card too. Also, seems a bit late for 2900XT items.

I would go with the MCW60. It's pretty much a universal block where the only difference is the hold down bracket.

Yeah it is late for this on the 2900 but they are working on a block that is interchangable with this for the 3870's.

I agree.....don't go with a cooling solution that only works with one card. I love my MCW60s....

Yup, the MCW60 is the ****. It has served me well with the 4 cards I have used so far. One of the best $40 I have spent so far.
