 Nvidia 9800GX2 Reviews and Waterblocks

 Nvidia's second foray into single card SLI solutions finally had its NDA lifted today and flurries of reviews popped up everywhere. On the whole the 9800GX2  seems to be performing better than in the speculative benchmarks that have already been posted and is clearly faster than the 3870X2. The downside is it's vastly more expensive, over £100 more so in some cases.

They also have an interesting video of the card being dismantled which is probably the closest you'll get to seeing one watercooled for the next few weeks! See the vid here

However, 9800GX2 waterblocks have already made an appearance. Innovatek have released their version, unfortunately all in Aluminium, but the design will probably be similar to what EK and Dangerden have in the works. See the new block here at Techconnect. The block screws into to each PCB much like blocks for the 7950GX2 did.
