Hi folks,
Does anyone know if the GTX or GTS variants of the Zalman 8800 waterblock will fit the new GT models? (or if there's a new version on the way - no mention on zalman's site)

Cheers,

=z=

No they have different layouts, Apparently the 8800GT's have a similar layout to the 7900GT/GTX's according to this review

hmm I can see that gpu waterblocks and air coolers would probably fit, but I suspect the full-contact waterblocks I'm after would require very precise similarities. eg, same heights for all the surrounding mosfets etc.

This looks pretty cool:

Might be a tad slim though...
