I wish that was the case. A good watercooling setup would probably cost over $300 bucks. Chances are if you can afford a 4870X2 you spent all your money on that sucker :P.

Do you think that you could fit two Zalman VF900's on one card? One for each GPU core.

lol look at the time when i posted this thread.

I have now got a second HD4870X2 and have also bought myself a water cooling system

The water cooling system is a 4 fan raditor, with 4 silent fans all running at low speed. The WC cools the CPU, and then both graphics cards. It is a heck of a lot quieter then 2XHD4870X2 running at full load. The heat from 1 card goes to the other and caused the fan to be running 40% most of the time.

Iam using the danger den WC heatsinks

Total cost of the WC system was around $AU700 and is capable of 1300W of heat dissipation.

Iam thinking of going Core i7 sometime late jan.
