    It is an Aqua-computer block, in fact. It better be licenced, else it is a straight rip.

    The spring-loaded core actually has proved not to be a brilliant solution... An Innovatek block is still the best alternative out there.

    Aye, the stupid core gets stuck too often... machine it too big and the leaks stay away, but the core doesn't move. Machine it too small and... well... it doesn't take a degree in molecular physics to figure that out.

    and i wonder if club 3d will implement some little thing in order to make it compatible only with their range of cards? for instance slightly changing their layout for their own cards. or maybe im just too cynical :D

    Yeah, as nexxo already stated, it's obviously an Aqua block, and looking at it, it would seem to be an x1800 or x1900 block, since that long regulator cooling part doesn't fit nvidias cards...or what do you think?

    Not a bad idea to incorporate Watercooling with cards, but has been done before (and the prices weren't that appealing) and personally I'd rather want a plain block with as little indentifying marks as possible so it's gonna get the mod anyway. Rather and Aqua Computer logo than a Club 3D logo I say, eventhough my next gfx card is going to be a Club 3D =]

    Doesn't anybody notice the Aquacomputer QC stickers in the last two photos?

    It is an AC block.

    Thank you for re-iterating and confirming J-Mag.

    Now, if anybody decides to pipe in about it being A-C block from now on, there's a nice lead pipe with obvious imprinted waiting here...
