Hi,

on my everlasting explorations on the internet, I have recently stumbled over several WC systems, where also the backside of the high end GPU where cooled by water.

like this example http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/show…07&postcount=81

So, does AC have any plans of making such back-plates as an addition to their existing line of coolers for high end graphics cards?

A plexi version would be nice ...

We do not have any plans for a backside-cooling because that makes no real sense to us. The cards work fine without such a backside-block.

Thanks for your quick reply Shoggy

... and based on my experience with ACs 3870 coolers, I know you are right. The 4870x2 cooler looks to be equally good (but my GPU is still in the mail)

But a back plate looked cool ... I was basically mostly curious (and I dont mind overdoing things ...)
