    it looks really nice, but give the same cooling solution to a radeon 9700pro and OC it, it will knock the geforceFX to hell and back.

    Haha... no **** it will!

    It amuses me how ppl try almost anything to make a GFFX sound a little bit more appealing, this week its water-based cooling solutions to the rescue - to beat those noise crisis blues. lol! Pffft, you can buy several 9700s for that much money. A much wiser investment.

    I think the same company made a simalar cooler for the 9700pro a while back and looked just as sexy.

    Considering that's at 30C, that's not bad. They could easily push it farther (provided they have enough juice to the AGP Voltages).

    Where did $400 come from? Nowhere does it mention price of the watercooling setup... Just the price of the FX.

    However, while this eliminates the heat, sound, and space problems with the FX, it still leaves the minor little issue of being priced about $100 too high...
