eVGA water cools GeForce 8800 GTX, nForce 680i SLI - [hardware]

All-watercooled 680i motherboard with a water-cooled 8800GTX on top
At the CeBIT show in Hannover, eVGA has been showing off a GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card and an nForce 680i SLI motherboard both outfitted with water blocks from Innovatek AG. According to The Inquirer, the graphics card features a water block with a 'ton of copper covering a good part of the PCB. Although the card demoed was a dual-slot model, it can reportedly be modified to take up only a single slot. Also interesting is the nForce 680i SLI mobo. eVGA's regular model has a heat pipe-based passive cooling solution covering the north bridge, south bridge, and processor power regulation circuitry. The water-cooled version has custom-fit water blocks on each of those components, and the pipe stubs appear to be positioned so that a circuit can be formed from the power circuitry to the south bridge.

The effects of water cooling can be quite dramatic: the 680i SLI's power regulation area supposedly goes above the 100C mark in an air-cooled system, and the north bridge can heat up to over 80C. The same goes for the GeForce 8800 GTX's power regulation area, which also goes up above 100C on the air-cooled model. With water cooling, the highest temperatures are around 50-60C, and "most of the components" are said to work 10-15C above room temperature. The Innovatek/eVGA water block kit will be offered either pre-mounted or as a separate upgrade.
