IF YOU THINK that you saw it all, wait until you sees the dual SLI water cooler for two Gainward 6800 Ultra PCIe graphic cards. Gainward has worked on this for some time and it got the first samples back. It had an idea to water-cool the cards but to make a water cooler that will attach to both cards. The cooler actually fits on both cards at the same time and it's specially designed for that purpose.
The company went one step further, as it offered CPU blocks teamed with red tubes all connected to two times twelve CM radiators topped with CM fans. Overclockers have to love this as it's all ready for you but it won't be cheap.
Those coolers have already sampled and Gainward is expected to release them soon. You can bet that Gainward plans to overclock its cards and that it wants to strike hard on 3Dmark05 10000 results and possibly break it. Gainward 6800 Ultra PCIe should be available by the end of the month.
