that water block is the gold plated version that comes with the Zalman reserator. It does well too. And those cables are from the Ultra X connect Power Supply I can add or detach as many as i need! its great no xtra cables!

That is a beautiful job you have done, Gnome. :thumbsup: Envy :)
Love the way you only use the cables needed.

I actually told Sally about one of those, whilst looking at the exact same site. Wish they were within driving distance in Western Australia. :bawling:

Came across them searching through Google for Ram Coolers. Sally's favourite colour is purple.
It seems the only place in the world that has Purple ram coolers is them. :rolleyes:

They do mail orders so.....who knows, lol.

Way to go Gnome...............................Rub it in, hehehe.

That's a great looking setup, Gnome! :thumbsup:

Now all you need to do is buy my pelt and psu and mount it on your new 6800 and see what she will really do.;) :D Should keep that 6800 in the sub-freezing range. :)

Just think what it would do when running at around -5 C then.:D

I see that Dangerden is making a pretty neat looking waterblock for the 6800 series that covers both the gpu and memory. Some pretty damn expensive though at $129, plus they don't have a version with a coldplate on it yet either.

dang! i got WC with the reserator. I had it on my R 9800pro and it oced very well. I dont have the WC on the 6800 tho its air cooled. The mem oces like 250 mhz more and the gpu ocs like 225 more than normal. I scored over 64k in aquamark and 23 to 25 k in 3dmark 2k1 and dont remember 2k3 tho

What's the highest you've had your 6800's core & mem at Gnome?

I live in south florida on the east coast. MY friend has a 20ft proline boat with a 150 mercury on the back.We were around 6 miles off shore and i hooked into that beauty. took around 20 min and alot of playing cat and mouse ( aka letting it run and about take all your line then real it back in you do that over and over until its exhausted )

shoot man i dont remember! i dont have it oced at the present time. I know it was 225/250 over the factory settings. /me goes to leadtek and checks the settings.

aight if my adding is corect it was core 550/ mem 950 yep thats the max i could get it. Of course it was with side panel off and a huge fan blowing on it.

Max ive had it with side panel on was Core 495 / mem 900

my friend ben ( aka overload ) has a 6800 ultra i told him not to buy it I told him not to like 5 times. I said " get a 6800 for 300 bux and save 300 and spend that on a lcd or something. But nope he bought it. his system specs are almost identical ( he has corsair bh5 mem i have kingston hyperx ) and i still was only like 100 3dmarks behind him for 300 less
