IvanV is on a distinguished road
System Specs

This is one of the poorest reviewing efforts I've ever seen! Only three games, no comparison against a stock 3870X2 or 9800GX2 and they managed to come up with this on the matter of exploiting the pre-installed water cooling to achieve a higher overclock:

We didn't overclock the graphics card during our tests as we saw no reason to.

OldBuzzard will become famous soon enough
System Specs

Yeah, I've seen better reviews

I guess that card would be ok if you don't already WC, but there are better solutions if you are already using water.

I'll be getting this one shortly. Gonna "stimulate the economy"

VID-387X2 (Radeon HD 3870 X2) [no nozzles] - Water cooling systems, pc liquid cooling kit, cpu, video card, hard drive

I noticed they claimed that it's a hassel to add a GPU cooler to an existing setup. Could be I guess, but I have quick disconnects coming off of the EXOS, and a drain fitting that allows me to drain just the loop inside the system. Makes it pretty easy to add anything I want without draining the whole system.
