That NVIDIA’s coming graphics card series GeForce 8800 is powerful and power consuming is something most have already agreed on, but contrary to the first reports there will not be a hybrid air/water cooler from factory. But we should be able to assume that the GeForce 8800 series, like most new graphics cards, performs even better with more efficient cooling. The first water block for NVIDIA’s new graphics card series has now appeared in a German hardware forum. The water cooling block goes by the name Silenx and is an aluminum block with a copper core. The block also has contact surface for the memory circuits, something which is often forgotten with many water cooling solutions.
We will most likely see many more exotic cooling solutions for NVIDIA’s new graphics card series and you can rely on us testing the GeForce 8800 series with most cooling mediums.
