EK Water Blocks Readying Radeon HD 5870 Water Block (http://www.overclockaholics.com/104620/EK_Water_Blocks_Readying_Radeon_HD_5870_Water_Bloc k.html)
Slovenian water-cooling components specialist EK Water Blocks is readying one of the first water blocks for the AMD (http://www.overclockaholics.com/forums/#) Radeon HD 5870 accelerator. Called EK FCS5870, it is a full-coverage water block from the looks of it, cooling all essential components on the PCB, including the GPU, memory, and VRM. The first picture below shows a CAD drawing of a design candidate. The second one is a picture of the ready copper block sans its top, revealing the water channel, and the heat-dissipation ribs over the GPU area. EK intends to complete the design of the FCS5870 by the end of this month.
