Water Cooler for Radeon 3870 X2
Yesterdays launch of Radeon HD 3870 X2 makes AMD the king graphic cards once again. Radeon HD 3870 X2 offers extreme performance but it eats a lot of Watt with the 2 processors. Watt does also means more heat for the card but now ATI have a solution for this problem too. CoolIT has been working together with AMD about their newest graphic card cooler. Together they made a so called waterblock which cools down the graphic processors and the memory. With this cooler the card will only obtain 1 card slot on you mainboard, not 2 like the normal Radeon HD 3870 X2 does. According to AMD the cards with this cooler will be able to run at 900MHz core and 2 GHz memory while the standard is 825/1800 MHz. When CoolIT tested the card with their cooler they got 23500 scores on 3DMark06, twice as much as a GeForce 8800GTX. So far it is still unknown what this cooler will cost. Watch the 3DMark video here for proof.
