We have shown you a pic of the water-cooled R600 earlier and here are some close-up shots for you guys to enjoy. We learned that R600 can be overclocked to 850MHz easily on its default cooler and with this special water-cooled edition, we can expect even higher clocks. Interestingly, we heard that any core clock increase on the R600 will scale the performance by much which is why ATi is trying hard to boost the core frequency higher. In our previous article, we told you that NVIDIA has plans to come out with GeForce 8800 Ultra in May to counter R600 but we believe it is just an overclocked G80 and perhaps using the air/water hybrid cooling solution they conceptualize before. R600 real performance remains a mystery till now but we believe ATi still have some chance if they can deliver the products out on time.

hmmm getting interesting now

that cooler looks terrible. I hope a Swiftech MCW60 block fits on it or that EK or someone comes out with a decent kit for this card so I could incorporate it into my loop.
