I think it will come in a box mate, ya know nowdays with all that green environmental stuff,
haha sorry couldnt resist
I see what people mean by you being cold-hearted
that joke was uncalled for

It could come in a stork's beak for all I care
I purchased my new computer a couple of months ago but rapidly got sick of the noise from the stock cooled 7970's and so did some research into how to best cool a GPU.
There are similar multi-GPU type waterblocks around. The main problem with them is that they only cool the main processor on the GPU whereas other parts (e.g. memory) need cooling as well. So you basically need an alternative approach to cooling the memory, typically some mini heat sinks plus a fan to blow air over them. It ends up as a halfway house between a fully watercooled system and the stock air-colled system. That said it should certainly be an improvement over the stock cooler, albeit at a significant cost (about £110 from the price you posted).
An alternative is to get an aftermarket cooler. Basically the same idea as the stock cooler but rather better designed and typically with more (and quieter) fans. You will need to get a specific aftermarket cooler to match your GPU and you need to have a standard design of GPU (which most are). Prices vary but typically somewhere around £50-70.
The final alternative, which is what I went for, is a full watercooled system. Which means some full custom waterblocks, a pump, fans, radiator and reservoir. Definitely the best cooling and quietest option but also the most expensive (looking at £300+). Also it's the most complicated solution to implement.
Did you buy the watercooled system already fitted in the pc?
Envy!!!! looks ace mate. How long did it take you to do all that? What are the temps on your GPUs when gaming and full load?
According to PCS' Facebook, these will be available to order soon
Yes, I asked
They are pretty good at answering queries on Facebook as well.
I guessed that was you
I was looking for the results of the competition but nothing yet
