    VGA NEWS: Sapphire Releases Water Cooled X1900 XTX

    Blizzard Radeon X1900 XTX video card is now shipping. The Blizzard liquid-cooling system, designed in conjunction with Thermaltake, takes up a single PCI slot in addition to the single PCIe slot taken up by the all-copper-block-cooled Radeon X1900 XTX card. The package is a pre-filled and pre-sealed system, so it's just a matter of inserting, connecting to the power supply, and switching on.

    The all-in-one Blizzard system houses a radiator (all-copper), reservoir and pump assembly. The radiator's cooled by an 80mm fan, and the airflow generated is pushed out to the rear of the case. The fan can be run in either quiet mode, spinning at 2,000rpm and producing 18dBA or in high-performance mode, which produces 25dBA at 2,500rpm. Those interested in Sapphire's card will have to take caution however, as the card consumes considerable space. With standard Radeon X1900 XTX boards already taking up two expansion bays, Sapphire's monster card takes up an additional bay for a total of three slots.

    Video cards are beginning to eat up space thats for sure.
    I just put an Artic Cooler REV 5 on my X800XL.
    It fits but it uses 2 slots and nearly extends to the harddrive bays.
