BFG GeForce 8800 GTX Water Cooled (SLI)

Blimey .. what is cooler than a totally pimped up car ? Yeah a pimped PC :) Okay .. okay so admittedly .. that only counts for true hardware fanatics like you and me. But you can rest for sure that once you or me will get it's hand on a couple of water-cooled BFG GeForce 8800 GTX cards the world slightly changes.
Guru3d will guide you through the installation process of water-cooling, we'll look at the pro's and con's of this water-cooling madness and obviously we'll fire off a good range of gaming benchmarks at both cards to have a look at performance results for both a single and in SLI setup water-cooled BFG GeForce 8800 GTX.

Hi people

Vadim sells OC's wet dream
In bed with BFG, people from fudzilla have spotted this machine at Cebit and it came the moment when you can buy one in retail. It wont be cheap, as Vadim computers wants to sell this baby for about 4300 punds.
That kind of money gets you a Silverstone Tj07 Black case with a window and custom paint and UV modding, Liquo Cool Antarctic D water cooling for a CPU and 2x VGA.

The machine includes Core 2 Duo E6600, 2x1024 Corsair DDR2-1143 XMS dominator memory, 1000 W BFG PSU, 2x BFG 8800 GTX OC 768 Graphics cards, Physics card, one 150 GB Raptor drive and 400 GB Barracuda drive. The final touch comes with a NEC 7170S optical drive and Windows XP PRO SP2 or Vista voucher.

Moving along to Leadtek,

Leadtek had their stand in a Hall where GPS and navigation devices were dominating; their new business products include GPS capable units so they were placed far away from the other graphics card manufacturers. They had the usual suspects from the NVIDIA range at their booth, but also a nice line-up of passively cooled models with custom heat pipe heatsinks, these silent video cards are available from the low end 7300GT up to high end 7950GT. Their live demo systems featured water cooled Geforce 8800 GTX cards in SLI, with this egg like pump/reservoir setup

Silverstone

Silverstone welcomed us to their massive booth where a truckload of high end chassis were on display, ranging from high end ATX cases to compact ITX HTPC designs. How about this SG03 which has room for Quad SLI? With room for 2x120mm fans, cooling won’t be much of a problem
