question about X1900XT

[TurnX]

going to be picking one of these up very soon and I want to do water cooling on it and hook it to the rest fo my water cooling system. Now ive found this water block:

Danger Den X1800 Water Block

Now this is designed to fit the X1800 series. So my question is is the layout of the GPU and memory the same on the X1900 series as it is on the X1800 series? Basically I want to know if this block will work.

Yeah its the same layout and I believe the same PCB as the X1800. Damn that block is sexy and I'm tempted to get one.

yeah dangerden makes some nice high end Video card coolers, they have a simular block for the 7800 and 6800. And since the consensus is that it will work with an X1900 i'll definatly be picking one up with my card.

here you go....there are very slight differences, but its mostly just a few extra components here and there for the power circuitry...so you should be fine

When the fan speed increases, the card becomes noticeably louder, the plastic casing acting as a resonator.

ATI baffles me. They could have contracted with Arctic, sold the thing for $620 instead of $600, and avoided this.
