No you are probably right. I'm sorry if I offended you. I have not noticed anyone in this forum that had this particular card and I thought that there might be some interest. Some people might like some benchmarks on this card. Think about it. It is the only card that is clocked at 470MHz out of the box. There just might be a slight chance that someone else is curious about the BFG water block card. Of course I maybe wrong. Anyway one thing I have found out over the last two months of participating in forums is that no matter what you write there is someone out there ready to turn a positive into a negative. :-(

I'm actually very interested in this. Let us know how it is. What kind of water setup are you using? Did you pay the full $599 for it?

I'm using the Koolance water system. It is the system that the BFG card is made for, at least the water jacket is. Yes I did pay $599.00 for the card.

Some Reviews of Koolance system and water jacket...They are really quite positive considering it is only 1/4"

I'm only water cooling the GPU only. If I believe it is feasible I will add a TEC on GPU to hopefully to attain 500MHz. But I will not modify if OC with water block does not get at least to 490 and stable.

I'd be excited enough to mention it
