Last summer, Sapphire released a Radeon X1900 XTX graphics card outfitted with a liquid cooling module derived from Thermaltake's Tide Water. (The Tide Water is an all-in-one liquid cooler that slips into a PCI slot and dissipates heat from the graphics card via a water block and a fan that blows air out of the case.)

The folks at Asus apparently thought this was a pretty good idea, because they've decided to introduce a GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card that seems to include an unmodified Tide Water module. The card, which Asus baptized EN8800GTX AquaTank/HTDP/768M, is factory "overclocked" from the stock 575MHz core clock, 1350MHz shader clock, and 900MHz memory clock to an impressive 630MHz/1458MHz/1030MHz.

Despite these higher-than-stock speeds, Asus says the card's liquid cooler helps it run 12°C cooler than generic GeForce 8800 GTX models. The EN8800GTX AquaTank/HTDP/768M takes up four PCI/PCI Express slots, though, so enthusiasts might have to sacrifice their sound card or other adapters for the privilege.

    No you idiot. Were you talking about the core clock speeds? X1950XT has similar or higher clock speeds. AFAIK, X2900XTX will have 700MHz+ on core.
