The Guru of 3D has a report that AMD/ATi are readying a 4800 series board that comes ready fitted for water cooling. Water cooler componants can but run at much higher clocks than air cooled, in general, due to the enhanced cooling given by the water ‘sloshing’ about the components. OK it’s a little neater than that makes it sound, but you get the idea! the extra headroom, they surmise, could allow the RV770 based chip to surpass nVidia’s 280s, at base speeds I am presuming.
