Watercooled Crossfire Card

Might be an idea to stick some sort of heatsink on it anyway imo mate, it couldn't hurt.

The chip must get hot if ATi decided to cool it in the first place.

What like the ram? :rolleyes: ;)
IIRC they don't need cooling. Edit: 95% sure they don't need extra cooling. Case airflow would probably be enough.

The stock cooler offers the same level of cooling to the chip as it does to the RAM so it shouldn't get too hot I would have thought.

That doesn't mean they put out the same amount of heat though does it :)

To be honest the thermal pad they use looks like a elastoplast, so I doubt it's effectiveness :p .
