Aquagrafx GTX580 Block

Looks like the board is different enough from a GTX480 (memory slightly higher, couple of different screw holes, and some missing mosfets, to require a rework of the GTX480 blocks to fit.

Unless you have a core only block like the MCW80

EK are also working on a block (of course)

And EVGA are launching a card with a Swiftech block that will be single slot.

How long do they usually take to become available after the release of a new card?

Have the aqua computer one on my 480 and really pleased with it. Love the look of that evga/swiftech combo tho!

I have the Aquagrafx on my 470's especially good because they are so low profile.

The EVGA one looks nice, but bloomin pricey though!! It's miles cheaper to buy the cards and buy a block and fit it yourself.

Has anyone been able to confirm the extent of thread locked/locktited screws on the 580 yet? Is it as bad as the 480? I saw one review which said the ones holding the shroud in place were had thread lock on them,but no specific mention of the ones on the back of the card. This would be usefull info for water coolers of this card if anyone has any info, especially if it applies to all manufacturers or just some of them.

Rubbish to have superglue in the threads - so incredibly annoying to mangle screwheads on tiny screws, let alone due to the manufacturer causing it to happen. Is superglue remover of much use?
