Hey everyone,
I was looking online for a nice cooling solution for my 6800 GT which I will be getting soon - since most of them easily overclock beyond 6800 Ultra stock specs from what I've heard - I stumbled upon this one from Danger-Den.
The Danger-Den 6800 waterblock

While looking over it, it seemed rather pricey and expensive. And the extravagant advertising of Danger-Den written all over it isn't the best thing either, however they are the only company at this moment selling a full block for the 6800 series with an 1/2"ID option, whilst other companies such as innovatek have versions with 8mm and 10mm tubing.
So far I haven't found any reviews on this product, and just a few opinions on the water-block - most of those opinions being biased.
Does anyone here own one? Or have any experience with these new blocks?
I'm wondering how the weight effects the card, I've heard some rumors that it warps the card due to the weight, but that could be caused by the fact that they didn't attach the waterblock correctly.
Also I've seen no results - overclocking wise - with this cooling solution yet.
Any opinions?
