HD2900XT watercooling?

Maze 5s fit on them and presumably other core only coolers will fit if they have a raised centre to fit in between the shim. Full cover blocks won't likely fit because the RAM is probably in a different place plus other components like the voltage regulators. Also to complicate matters the RAM is on both sides of the card.

The mounting holes are the same as previous generations (at least the 4 corners holes).

Thought as much.
Im tempted to get one and put it on its own loop, since I have the space and most of the hardware. Providing a 120.1 rad will be sufficient, and should be.
Only thing putting me off buying one is the reported noise, its a good card for the money....I shall ponder a bit more.

I have one. I never get the 3d noise people talk about. This is probably due to my caseflow as i have 10 120mm fans, and everything else is watercooled.

I am waiting for either the thermaltake at4 watercooler, or the dangerden block. you will need to cool the mosfets, and there is another chip on there that hits the near 90's apparently near the top of the card.
