I was wondering if it was possible to watercool an AIW 9700 (http://www.rage3d.com/reviews/aiw9700p/?page=2). I'll be using a Koolance watercooling setup (since I got the case), so it will be a Koolance video card block to cool the card, seen here (http://www.koolance.com/products/product.html?code=CHC-A01). Notice on the AIW pic at the site (sorry, was the best pic I could find at the moment), the heatsink has a small corner cut out of it to make room for the TV tuner on the card. And that right there is the problem. Would I have to cut out a corner of the block in order to use it on the AIW, and if so, how would I achieve this? Is there anyway that I could watercool this card?? Any information would be appreciated.

Will it fit on the GPU though despite the fact that the TV tuner seems to be a bit in the way?? And what do you guys recommend I do to cool the ram?

Yeah, I've seen that. Guess I'll have to do without watercooling it then. Oh well, maybe in the future they'll make a block for it...
