Last Saturday we brought you the first pictures of a watercooling setup that it's obvious target is the OEM market. Now the VR-Zone reveals two more closeups of this particular card and a few more technical details. The stock air cooler will allow the user to clock the graphics core up to 850MHz, whereas the watercooled one will hit it's limit above that.

VR-Zone brings us a picture from the water cooled version of the ATI R600 video card. The water cooling solution is probably provided by Aavid Thermalloy and coincidentally Aavid is preparing their Turbo Tube cold plates for mass production in May, same time as R600 launch. ATI's AIB partners can choose to use it, design their own or use a 3rd party water-cooler from Thermaltake.

Even before the 8950GX2 card hits the stores, blocks are already starting to appear. The Inquirer managed to snap a few shots of Alphacool's block, ready to cool the beast:The block covers everything: GPU, RAM, NVIO1 chip, PWM...

The block looks very thin, which brings up concerns over its restriction/performance. Alphacool has produced some highly restrictive blocks in the past.

Asetek which got quite famous with their phase change (aka 'vapor compression') coolers shows off their latest GPU cooler for water cooled setups at the CeBIT. As usual one of The Inquirers was a tad faster and so we got hold of the picture. Basically this cooler is aimed for the OEM market and there will be a G80 model (which got pictured) and a R600 one. Because of it's being partly air- (PCB and RAM) and partly water-cooled (GPU) it consumes a lot of room, the card together with the cooler will end up covering 2 slots.

Swiftech today announced the release of the new Apogee GTX CPU water-block. With enhanced thermal performance over the award winning Apogee GT, and dramatic styling inspired from the automotive after-market world, the Apogee GTX becomes Swiftech's new flagship CPU water-block. While the internal structure of both blocks is the same, the longer path between the ports gives the GTX a 1°C advantage over the GT at 100 Watts, making the GTX Swiftech's the new king. The Apogee GTX is shipped with an Intel Core 2 (socket 775) compatible hold-down plate and i-flow 1/2" chrome plated barb fittings. A multi-CPU/socket hold-down plate for AMD socket 754, 939, 940 processors as well as 3/8" chrome plated barb fittings are also available as optional products. Upcoming hold-down plates for Socket AM2 and even Socket F (AMD) will also be available by the end of March. The Apogee GTX water-block is available now for $75.95 MSRP at Swiftech online store.

Swiftech today announced the release of the new MCW6500-T thermoelectric (TEC) CPU water-block designed to be integrated with high-end liquid cooling systems such as Swiftech's H20-220 Apex Ultra. Using 226 Watts Peltier module the unit can be connected directly to any high-end computer power supply or external power unit and cool the latest Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors. The MCW6500-775T retention mechanism is compatible with all Intel socket 775 processors. Further declinations of the product will be released in the coming weeks for compatibility with AMD processors. The MCW6500-T packege includes Intel socket 775 compatible assembly, including gaskets, installation hardware, 1/2" barb fittings, Arctic Céramique thermal compound, instructions. The unit is scheduled to start shipping to retailers March 1st, 2007. with suggested MSRP price of $159.95.

ASUS launched today the EN8800GTX AquaTank graphics card equipped with innovative all-in-one watercooling, which improves the cooling with up to 12°C compared to a generic GF8800GTX cards. The EN8800GTX AquaTank/HTDP/768M video cards come factory overclocked to 630Mhz core and 2.06GHz (1030MHz DDR3) memory clocks. Click here to learn more about the card itself.

Thermaltake Technology, world's leading brand in high-performance chassis, high-efficiency power supply and coolers, today announces the introduction of their first waterblock for Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX graphic card. TMG ND4 is a revolutionary product founded on Thermaltake's current TMG line of products to incorporate ultra-high performance with incredibly silent operation in order to achieve the ultimate gaming experience.

Koolance is now offering the world's first liquid-cooled ATX power supply rated at 1200W continuous and 1400W peak power. The PSU-1200ATX-12S features 96A over four 12V rails, modular cables, and 4 PCI-Express connectors for SLI and CrossFire support. It is able to unleash 1200W of continuous (1400W peak) power at greater than 80% efficiency by operating in a completely submerged state. All internal electronics are immersed in a non-conductive fluid and dissipated through an external heat exchanger, cooled by a temperature-controlled 120mm LED fan. The unit comes pre-filled and no ongoing coolant maintenance is required. The PSU-1200ATX-12S can be used in most ATX, E-ATX, and BTX chassis that provide for 9" (23cm) power supply depths, including cable space. The external heat exchanger can be rotated 180 degrees and moved vertically 2" (5cm) to avoid physical conflicts. The Koolance 1200W Liquid-Cooled PSU should be available after Feb 28, 2007 for $499.99 USD.

BFG Technologies, Inc., the leading North American and European NVIDIA supplier of advanced 3D graphics cards, motherboards, power supplies and other PC enthusiast products, announced today the BFG NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX OC 768MB Water Cooled Edition PCI Express graphics card. "Because of the huge cooling advantage offered by our custom water block designed by Danger Den, we are able to push this card to speeds faster than anything else on the market today." said Dean Brady, Sr. Director of Marketing for BFG Technologies. "To offer these speeds, every BFG Overclocked Water Cooled Edition graphics card is hand built and tested to ensure maximum performance and reliability."
