Swiftech and Danger Den Water Cooling for Geforce 8800 Series
 

In this article we take an in-depth look at the advanced cooling options available for the Geforce 8800 series. Both Danger Den and Swiftech have water blocks designed to fit the latest NVIDIA high end cards, so we take them for a test ride, comparing performance at different pump speeds, SLI compatibility and see how they do compared to high end air cooling solutions. Read on to find out if water cooling a G80 based VGA card is worth it.

Great review! Very interesting to see Swiftech's block take the win there, I am surprised. Did overclocking improve beyond 600Mhz with either block though??

Overclocking does indeed improve, DanderDen's block will give you about the same overclocking headroom as Thermalright's HR-03 Plus, as they are temps wise very close to eachother. http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=get...&articID=5 57

Swiftech's block will go even further, though due to the unusual clocking of the G80 it still might be hard to get it stable at the next available gpu clock (675MHz).

they are close together at STOCK G80 speeds; but once you start overclocking, HR-03 PLus will heat up more & faster. Watercooling will take the lead quickly and with larger margins, also, it will allow you to use a higher VGPU/VMEM as it's better cooled, and can remove more watts

Nice review geoffrey , never tought that the mcw-60 is that good :)
