EVGA is proud to announce the first ever EVGA designed GeForce 9800 GX2 water block - the EVGA 9800GX2 Hydro Copper 18 waterblock (part number: 200-CU-HC18-B1) with a 100% copper design and SLI compatibility. Being a full cover block, the Hydro Copper 18 is compatible with all reference 9800 GX2 cards and can be used in both 3/8" ID and 1/2" ID water cooling systems. Available now for pre-order, you'll have to hurry up if you want to buy one, because the block is said to be produced in a limited quantities. The price is little steep though, $249.99.

Sick, just sick. Half the price of what you can buy the card for now....lol, needless to say its not worth it.

EDIT: If it was silver for that price I would snap up all of them :D

Come on, regardless of the product used for the cost of the water block is outrageous. Specially when the product itself is rumored to reach EOL in a few months.

i think the price might have something to do with how big it has to be and that its 100% copper...copper is not the cheapest thing to manufacture these days...but $250 does seem a bit expensive....i wonder if it will be available @ places like newegg?

EVGA's AKIMBO Cooler took a few weeks to get to retailers like newegg after it was announced so im guessing this will be the same way.

They have some B Stock stuff for crazy cheap tho. The 680i they have for 100$ is REALLY tempting. They also have a 8600GTS for 80$.

ShadowFoldWould a gold heatsink be the best?
Second best, a diamond heatsink would be the best conductor of heat.

Good luck affording both :p I wonder how well a diamond one would do anyway.

I don't wanna know. The last diamond I bought was the size of pci slot screw & costed more than my car, piff. That thing would probably blow your card & a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th mortgage :D
