Slovenian liquid-cooling giant EK Water Blocks is ready with a full-coverage water block for AMD Radeon Pro Duo. The company teased its block in its clear-acrylic top with nickel-plated copper base variant, fitted to a card, with the tagline "There has never been so much GPU raw power stuffed on a single PCB," on the company's Facebook page. The block appears to feature a common coolant channel that passes through both VRM areas, the PCIe bridge chip, and large micro-fin lattices over the two GPUs. The block could be offered in other variants as well - with opaque acetal tops, exposed copper base, and combinations with clear-acrylic and nickel-plated copper bases.

At 1500$ AMD should have used EK instead of coolermaster in the first place

I think the Coolermaster option is cheaper based on previous Fury X project. Remember, this card is being sold well above BOM cost to milk the most out of it. It has no peer in the dual GPU arena thanks to Nvidia not giving us a Maxwell dual card.

I am still sad that Dual GPU's have come to this. I really think both companies are digging a massive hole for the dual GPU market with these ridiculous prices and lack of support (By that I mean not releasing cards).

Its nice to see a waterblock that fast, I still have someone interested in a very tiny build that involves a Dual GPU card so if we go custom that maybe an option.

Would love to see how this performs with proper VRM cooling vs the OEM solution.

But don't they have a lot more compute units and DP units compared to gaming cards?
