New aquagratix HD4870 variant
Samstag, 15. November 2008, 01:44
It gets more and more difficult to find HD4870 graphics cards which use the initial reference layout, so we have produced a new variant of the aquagratix block which is compatible to the newer layout.
The aquagratix for HD4870 type 2 consists of three parts. The large cooling surface made of copper covers the GPU and RAM chips and a smaller copper block cools the voltage regulators. Both parts are connected to each other through a Delrin bridge so the voltages regulators are also cooled with water.
This full cover block will cost 79.90 EUR and is deliverable at the end of next week.

It will also fit on the current HD4870 PCS+ cards from PowerColor. Someone posted a picture of a Diamond card over at XS, it has also the correct layout 
Just keep an eye on the imprint "LF R77F VER 1.0" above the PCIe pins. That seems to be the magic number
(hello again, copy n paste FTW ;D)

The photo seems to show an old variant... Well, I know from another forum that the current(!) PCS+ variants look like this:
And that will work
The magic number seems to be the "LF R77F VER 1.0" above the PCIe pins.

Are the actual layouts still the same, or is it the components used that differ, e.g bigger chokes to save on money? also how is the ram mosfet cooled?
p.s is the thermal performance still just as good? i assume it would be, but just checking.
i assume all cards that use the reference cooling will be fine with V1?

Im glad it will also fit on the current HD4870 PCS+ cards from PowerColor, hard to find waterblocks for those... but i need measurement if it will fit inside my chassi as i have a cube chassi with limited space above the card, top of card
Can someone tell me in mm how much the top of the waterblock sticks out of the actual pcb (top of red to top of waterblock) ???
Here's a simple sketch =) but card should be standing up... backside is where the hoses are connected so i need that height, not how thick the waterblock is !!!
Just to clarify, here's another sketch... my powersupply resides just above the card and i have limited space but stockcooloer works now pcs+ cooler so i hope this doesn't build too much upwards:
