it looks like this is kinda like a full water block expect that they added a fan to ensure the outer areas are full cooled. The water block is over the whole card but water only flows over two points so it isn't like those EK ones. Again only my opinion. Not really up to speed on these things but it seems like a nice solution...not perfect but more than adequate. Seems like this would be able to full over clock assuming you added a larger radiator. Not sure why a full water block wasn't used. I would love to hear thoughts on this because this is just interesting to me and learning is awesome as always :) Ignorance sucks -_^
