Swiftech Introduces the Full-Cover Caldera HD4870X2 Water Block

[bigslappy]

Introducing the Caldera cooling system for AMD HD4870X2 graphics cards from Swiftech. The Caldera 4870X2 is a hybrid cooling system for AMD HD4870X2 reference graphics cards. It is composed of two separate elements: a water-block that cools both GPU's, and a passive heatsink to cool the rest of the components such as the GDDR5 memory, voltage regulators and the I/O chip. The Caldera 4870X2 water-block utilizes Swiftech's proven Diamond Pin Matrix technology and premium copper baseplate for the highest cooling performance. Additionally, there's a built-in white LED that illuminates throught the clear acrylic sides of the GPU water block when in operation. The full-cover water block weights in 411g and has a MSRP of $159.95. It is available now. Inside the package you'll also find 1/2" barbs, (2) plugs, thermal pads, Arctic Céramique thermal grease, mounting screws and installation guide.

Nice setup. I believe it's a great idea to have hybrid blocks ala D-Tek UNI-Sink + Fuzion GPU v2 to reduce cost of ownership and better upgrade path (just adapt mounts for newer cards if needed).

they sure are rolling products out fast. i do hope better and better
am waiting for this one, and the numbers to go with it.

BTW the "stackable" rads are being made. But since they will ship ocean, you are looking at 12 weeks before they come in. 120mm, 220mm, and 320mm versions will be available.
