Graphic cooler can not be heavier than 480 grams
 

Intel’s PCIe specification won’t qualify and won’t let you sell a graphic card cooler that is heavier than 480 grams.

EVGA water cooler is some 450 grams heavy which is almost identical weight to Nvidia’s refenrece 8800 GTX cooler. EVGA together with innovated user aluminium for the other side of the water cooler and it use the special plastic cover for that cooler. The final goal was to be inside 450 grams specification. Otherwise you can not sell the graphic card and you can not get the stamp of approval and you can not sell such a product.
