Default Cooling a 4870x2
What would be the best way to go about water cooling a 4870x2? Would I buy two core blocks or should I try to find a full cover block? (when the card is released)

Interesting to see if anyone releases a full cover for it, if they do i presume that would be the best option

Sorry, I'm just trying to plan if it's going to be cheaper to go with single core NVidia cards or dual core ATI cards.

EK and DangerDen will probably release full cover blocks not too long after the card hits the market.

And EK would be the way to go if you do get a full coverage block. I would recommend 2 MCW60s and ramsinks (cheaper and more versatile, but that's just me). It works great on a single card.

Yea, that was my main question. Can you fit two chip blocks (like the MCW60) on a dual chip card? (I don't know how far apart the chips are spaced)
