Serious water cooler block for ATI Radeon HD 5970

For those looking for quiet operation and more aggressive tuning, the fresh Koolance model can be sold to keep the world’s fastest video card in check against the looming heat.

Known for its non-average cooling solutions, Koolance has unveiled its latest model, dubbed the VID-AR597, which covers a water block that can be placed on a video card. The solid copper block that makes up the cooler has been given a full nickel coating and the acrylic cover allows the user to control the flow of liquid in the system while transporting a fair amount of heat from near the two boiling cores. Yes, two, because another important feature of the VID-AR597 is that it was made specifically for ATI's new top card, known as the Hemlock codename, which employs two 40nm Cypress GPUs and will be released as the Radeon HD 5970.

The VID-AR597 has 1/4 G connectors and is expected to go on sale on December 4th at $ 140 (today's exchange rate is $ 25), which isn't a bit of a first reading, but when you consider targeting that layer , who have the opportunity to buy a video card available for well over 200 HUF in the name of maximalism, this price tag no longer seems to be really significant.
