OK Dave and GBQ...the reviews are out on the 4870X2 = pure sexs.

Looks like you're gonna have to have some pretty extreme clocks on the CPU to get them to show their might.

*Waits patiently for their work-logs to reflect pics of 4870X2 x2 *

For some reason I just want to see nvidia kick the crap out of these cards....

But no doubt, if I built a gaming rig today, it would have 2 of these babies in it.

Asetek liquid cools the Radeon HD 4870 X2

Quote:
Asetek has introduced a liquid cooling kit for AMD's new double-slot gaming monster, the Radeon HD 4870 X2. Though unfortunately OEM only, it at least takes some of the stank off of having a pair of these draw more than 750 watts in a high-end system by keeping them from throwing so much of that heat back inside the case. Though the image given with the press release appears to be of just a Radeon HD 4870 with the liquid cooling kit attached, their kit promises to reduce operating temperatures of the HD 4870 X2 by as much as 28 degrees.
