First liquid-cooled HD4890 arrives
TAIWANESE GRAPHICS CARD BUILDER Powercolor has announced a new custom liquid cooling system for AMD's HD4890 GPU.
The single slot design aimed at gamers has a water block fully covering the the memory and power regulator chips mounted on the card, and is reportedly able to reduce temperatures by up to 20ºC compared to the reference version.
The copper-based design features 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch fittings as well as captured O-rings to prevent leakage.
Core and memory speeds on the $400 card can be clocked up to 900MHz and 1000MHz respectively, and you should be able to get your hands on the LCS HD4890 from April 16th. µ

that picture sure doesn't show a single slot solution
Water in one hole steam out the other?
Perhaps a steam turbine can be added to the pressure side of the system to help return some of the energy that this thing is going to use.
Also as posted above, this may be a single slot solution but have fun with plugging anything into the slot next to it!
lol!, i can already see the device.
"install the [clicky market name here] and take some load off your PSU!"
So little copper on the thing you will have get yourself a Tsunami water pump to get it cool better than stock.
The claim of 20C is pathetic. Thermalright GTX will cool way better @ 1/3rd the price and air only, except that TR doesn't yet have a compatible 4890 cooler.
