HERE IN LONDON, we had the chance to take a look at the first British waterblocks for the Skulltrail, the brainchild of Vadim Computers and Blastflow.

As you know, Skulltrail's only major noise source is that skinny but screeching 6,000 rpm fan cooling the heatsink that overs the SouthBridge and, more importantly, two hot old Nvidia PCIe v1 bridge chips. The Intel South Bridge chip would do fine with a standard heat sink, but the Nvidia products are hot in more ways than one, it seems.

Therefore, Vadim launched the South Bridge Skulltrail waterblock
first. It preserves the skinny footprint and height of the original
heatsink - even the water tube holes are in convenient places not to block the multiple graphics cards above.

Convenient for the silence-loving power users? Sure - check out the North Bridge block below. A silent yet overclockable Skulltrail is on the way.
