How come like me, a lot of us run water cooled graphic cards. it would be nice if ati did some high end gpu's with the waterblocked as standard. Would save all the problems with warranty. Nvidia do it so why not ati......:confused:
 
They are/were "some" around, or that have been posted on here. Though from memory they are usually all in one solutions like BFG were looking at.
 
Come to mind i don't think i've ever seen an ATI card with a pre installed block on it.

I would rather put block of my chose on it tho like say EK
 
Yeah I'd rather choose my own block anyway. I imagine the reason they don't do it (or charge a higher price for it) is because watercooling is a riskier solution than air. They can test air cooling at the factory, but you have to install the water cooling yourself, and I doubt they want people exploding their cards and sending it back under warranty.

Also I'd remove that link. I know it's a ridiculous price, and just an example, but it's still a link to a competitor.
 
I would chose my own water block tbh althrough I know sapphire have done atomics in the past with their own water cooling
