  • first in reviews!

  • What is your job , man. Are you rich?

  • "Water Block"

  • wow VRM at 4:15 is 100C

  • love your videos! all of your videos had  good reiview!

  • Nice review man! btw can you make a review about AC Accelero Xtreme 5970? I would be verry grateful ;)

  • Can you install it on the Toxic Edition 4 GB from Sapphire?

  • @xapnsma0123 5:02 fifty nine gay man D:

  • Pretty soon watercooling will be standard on all new pc's I reckon.

    Great review and awesome temperatures from that block. I'm definately considering it as an upgrade option.

  • my q6600 with artic cooling cooler runs prime 95 for like hour now, 63C ;)

  • Does this make it a single slot width card?

  • trubitar has a $1300 cooling system

  • hi there im really new to water cooling. I have just got a exos-2.5, a cpu-360 and the vid-ar597 for the ati hd5970. What i dont know to get is the fittings for the tubes. I know i will need to get the same size as my tubing but im not sure what they are called. Are they barbs? nozzles? compression fittings? please help im confused lol ~Also is there anything else you recommend getting for the setup? i dont mean for other hardware, i mean other parts that are needed for the exos-2.5 Thanks.

  • My old laptop is currently at 100c running prime95...lol

  • @dazza2708 rofl. Im to scared to even download prime95.

  • A-M-AZ-I-N-G !!!!!

  • if someone wants to laugh , transcribe audio. Trubitar talking + transcribing audio = win

  • "The a off like mine said is a must have for the age of fifty nine said he gay men all old talking he was yes."

    I'm gonna say the transcribe audio feature is made for American accents...

  • I love your videos!

  • Murphy's Law , All Hoses will break, .......then you have coolant on your Motherboard , I'm guessing NOT Goods things Happen after that.........

  • They make non-conductive coolant.

  • 100% Percent non conductive and Non Corrosive? ... that Sounds Nice , (Yes I've Seen the Motherboard run for 2 week submerged in Oil) I myself Wouldn't trust it for a Couple of thousand in P.C Parts that often is a 10% Gain in Performance and I was going to Keep for a year or two , If you got a Sponsor and What to go for High -end benchmarks ,have at it... (For the Average P.C owner , there isn't a Huge Difference between 4.2ghz on Air or 4.6 ghz on Coolant) Do what you like.......

  • The type of hoses available for P.C. water cooling are quite fail safe. They WILL outlast the P.C. itself. Liquid cooling these days really is D.I.Y. However, it really isn't that necessary and the reference cooler is designed to be more than capable. Liquid cooled systems are alot more quiet than a fan turned 100% (sounds like a jet) while being more efficient.

  • @mrjamesb56 less heat, better performace and reliability...ex. just look at the xbox 360 fail rates caused by heat.

  • For Sure that's true , But I'm not sold on Liquid Cooling , It gets you around 10% more performance than a high end Air Fan ,So for Cost/Performance it fails , Xbox 360's fail because of Cheap Parts/Poor design that made in the 2nd or 3rd World ) Google for Xbox being made in a re-tooled ex Lada car plant, that says everything right there.......

  • well the price of a good air cooler like the thermalright copper is only 20 bucks cheaper than a 5970 waterblock which is one of the more expensive blocks out..

    if you look at the cpu blocks they are even cheaper than the thermalright,,and they take up alot less space. And you have to admit, water cooling just looks bad ass.

    Wow the xbox is just a pile of junk,,all the way around,,,ive had 2 die on me so far..working on the third..lol

  • @mrjamesb56 I have a sense that Thermalright is on it's way to design and construct powerful air coolers, but according to my opinion they have to wait until the prices of these cards become affordable. So, they would have a chance to a serious selling percentage for their future air cooling solutions.

  • @nauls82 Yes, always provides excellent ventilation that hardware to work optimally, have a good performance and useful life is complete. recalls that the Xbox 360 is marked "Factory Overclocked" without ventilation.

  • @mrjamesb56 a good way to prevent that, is to try keeping the sharp knives away from the hoses.

  • That's a lot of money & time for a 2 degree difference.........

  • um.... it showed approx. 45 degree difference........

  • Off topic question but, does anyone know if a 8800GTX water-block will fit a 9800GTX, cause there mostly similar?

  • no it wont. the 8800gtx and 9800gtx have different GPUs (gpu size differs greatly) and hole arrangements.

  • Hmm sadly that's true, is there any other gpu with the same layout that would have a common waterblock. the only ones i can find cost more than the card itself...

  • Do you have to replace the coolant ever, or just once?

  • @rain0x1 Most of the coolants are rated for a couple thousand hours. You will notice the coolant start to calcify (Looks like snot) This would be a good indicator that it's time to change it. Even if you don't see this start to happen I would still change it after a couple thousand. Otherwise you may end up blocking your water blocks and rendering them to a lower heat transfer rate and increasing the calcification exponentially.

  • Can't wait for the GTX380. Apparently it will cost a good amount less than the 5870 but match it in some tests, and single-GPU.

  • Less? doubt it. ATI has always been better value for money and would adjust they're prices accordingly. But I'd be surprised if it doesn't out perform the 5870. Oh yeah, the 5870 is single GPU......

  • I meant the 5970. Priced lower than the 5970 which is dual GPU, but have almost the same performance and single GPU. Beats the 5870 by at around 40%.

  • Both will be out before April but after February.

  • There is no i9, the 6core will be the i7 980XE (and i read somewhere it should be released sometime in march)

  • i think just wait anyway, because when nvidia brings their cards out it is inevitable for cards across the board to drop prices

  • Don't touch thermal surface behind with finger!!!! :-))))

    Great product!!!!spectacular...

  • i9 in March and GT300 in Q2 2010 anytime between April-June. Both parts will be extremely expensive. I would just go with an i7 930 with a 5970.

  • A great looking waterblock, now if only you could replace the bracket to a single slot solution. But I guess it's not gonna be an option on this vard due to all the connectors.

  • If you're willing to do some jerry rigging and have balls of stell Ive heard of it being done lol

  • You are from Cardiff no doubt, maybe Ely from the accent.

  • where is trubritar from?

  • Wales originally...

  • lol sorry where is Wales.

  • It's ofter referred to as the "Better" Part of England...LOL

  • @trubritar Indeed!

  • @trubritar

    Only by the Welsh....

  • @lazyboi789 you better live in the middle of no-where...

  • @HEY8461 yea United States education on geography isn't that great. i think i learn more on youtube than school.

  • radeon "Hesch" D 5970

  • Lmao... I love how you can see the Thermaltake SpinQ (shit) behind the cards, despite the water-cooling loop. Trub is both a noob and artist of product placement.

  • @aaronmonto maybe he didnt want anything else on the loop so he could check his temps? which would explain the cpu cooler

  • Doesn't explain why it was a SpinQ instead of the stock cooler. If one wanted performance at least get a Mega or TRUE.

  • Actually the Spin Q performed flawlessly, with the fan set to 100%, it cooled the I7 920 to 28'c with a 4.35GHz OC...not bad for cooling on air, also don't forget, this isn't my daily use rig, this is my test bench where things are allowed to go "BANG!"....Thanks

    Trub

  • Depends on airflow and ambient temps of course. I'm actually fine with it, seeing as we work with what we have at the time. I'm loving these Winter temps. My ambient is 20C and my GTX285 stays at a nice 30C under load on an MCW60. PHENOMENAL

  • impressed tbh, Koolance have definitely improved the way they machine cut their blocks, cant believe how small that block looks when installed on the card , those 5890's really are massive

  • I see Koolance made everything for the PC, but not one.... HDD Koolance.

  • they made HDD waterblocks.

  • yes Koolance and Bitspower and maybe some others do

  • you could DEFINITELY oc way higher than that. Especially since the new 5000 series cards have voltage tweaking.

  • thank you for an awesome review!

  • I'm clearly an amatuer! That looked like a clymore land mind, to my technologicaly ignorant brain!

  • amazing man :X

  • You need to purchase a hose about half the size of an average fire brigade version in order for it to connect to your outdoor tap. Then you simply buy the appropriate size converter to merge the hose into the water block. When in operation, fresh volcanic water will then start to spurt out the exit point. Once the water is acquired, simply pour into desktop/laptop and your system is now water cooled!.....

  • fucking robot german talking here (or nazi u can say, cuz a robot german is a nazi)

  • @50CENT123GO wat, "only" got a i7 920 and 260, fuck you bitch, ur lucky and dont know it.

  • nice cooling solution. :)

  • Hey trubritar No "WoW" ???

    Sounds Cool when you say it lol.

  • hahahahahahaha i bought a used accelero s1 rev 2 cooler for $15 and this test didnt get my super superclocked 9600gt 720/1800/1100 over 52c hahaha

  • Your point?

  • @FortunexenutroF my point is that u ppls dont need so spend so much on water cooling

  • Why not? How does your 9600GT in any way relate to a COMPLETELY different architecture, clock speed and video card? In case you didn't know, your 9600GT is a single GPU card, and isn't even close to as powerful as even ONE of the GPUs in the 5970.

    Lower temperatures will let you hit higher OCs without lowering the life expectancy of the card.

  • only???? thats still fucking wicked specialy for sum1 like me on an e5200 ans 9600gt

  • after installed the waterblock do u need to plug in the water tubes?

    I dont see them or I dont need those water tubes?

    hello?

  • u need to plug water to make it cool the video card lol

  • Hi there,

    The hoses are hooked up to the waterblock, @ 3:36 , look at the top of the waterblock and the hoses are attached to the rear of the block.

  • Only? a lot of people haven't even got that.

  • Whats the song name at 3:53? Btw nice video! 5/5 :D

  • Wow! Nice OC! Great temps! Of course, watercooling would be way better than STOCK air cooling! Still, what a MAJOR difference! 5/5

  • yet another great review! :)

  • nice vidoe that is a asome waterblock

  • Trub i like ur hair :D

  • Ecpentiv

  • awesome review! Do they have anything like this for the 4890?

  • best card review channel on the TUBE period

  • Thank You :)

  • nice oc, 1 ghz !!!! lol

  • you must have a massive collection of porno music in your library trubritar lol

    5/5

  • LOL...Thanks

  • My gosh 40°c MAX T__T

    You can play all night long xD

  • Superb review as always Trub! 5*.

  • I'm not really familiar with waterblocks on cards, but it sounds like 2.1lbs is really heavy for a waterblock!

    Awesome video Trub! Keep it up!

  • @ EliteSoldier112

    If you think Koolance suck don't buy and stop acting like a complete moron. Koolance is one of the best waterkooling systems on the market today but it's korean so you are prolly gonna buy some unbranded non asian shit. I have been using Koolance for years and have been very happy.

    OT: Nice waterblock don't have the ATI card but nice

  • I think that single PCB, dual GPU cards look the best!

  • Am I the only one worried if you have two of these, you just might break your Pci-E slots? They seem heavy!

  • i'v had a airline crack come in my board after using this card. On a asus.

  • hairline crack?

  • @LoGiTiC If you didn't know. The cards are screwed can be screwed to the expansion slots.

  • wish i have this... really awesome cooler

  • ab⋅so⋅lute⋅ly phenomenal!

  • FUCK YA TRUBRITAR FTW EDITION

  • Damn that is a HUGE drop in temps.

  • I feel like a kid in Toys'R'us

  • Comment removed

  • Well, if you already have a good loop then you have the possibilty to add your GPU in it. But GPUs were never meant too be overclocked and performance improvements are minimal. The only reason I would go with watercooling is noise, but a good aftermarket aircooler would do the same job at half the price and hassle.

  • @CrazyMazy

    You can get fantastic gains from overclocking a GPU dude!

    I've overclocked my 5850 to 1GHz and got a 10fps increase in DIRT 2, that's a huge increase in performance :)

  • wow 1 GZ, thats a pretty nice OC

  • this guy is determined lol

  • nope :-< not tat high performance but if u could put 4 gtx295(8gpu's) why wouldn't u put 4 5970;;) but u can't :(

  • Imagine 2 of these, it's like 8 GTX 295s -_-"

  • easily the best enthusiast account on YouTube and a Welshman

  • omg almost no difference at normal clock and overclock with the waterblock

  • nice review the cooler looks awesome

  • Crap... The fan is crazy loud at 100%. But still,

    a watercooling loop would cost a fortune! Sticking with the air-cooler seems to be the better solution. I hope that some manufacturers would put their own cooler on it instead of the stock-cooler, e.g. Sapphire Vapor-X 5970.

  • alot of fans are loud at 100%.......

  • Especially blower style fans. That's why I wish that Sapphire would put a Vapor-X cooler on this one... Cause the 5870 Vapor-X is quieter and much cooler than the stock 5870.

  • Seriously, you don't see the difference between 30 and 50? Human eye can notice up to like 50-55 fps. And by having an even higher fps you would never be bothered by framedrops.

  • @CrzayMazy yes but when you running the game at 90fps avg. and you get a frame drop of 30 fps your human eye is still having an orgy no matter what. since 90-30=60

  • I don't get you. Why would your eye have an orgy if everything is still supersmooth? What I was saying is you can play at 50 fps, but you would still notice framedrops, where if you were playing at 90 fps, no matter how much framedrops you would get it will still be smooth. And why the hell did people give me thumbs down on my previous comment?

  • @CrzayMazy thats true. if it was constant 50 fps, then the difference wouldnt notice. but since when you drop a nade, destroy a building or shoot an rpg frames usually drop 5 - 10 or even more then is good to have more heardroom

  • i wonder what the fps of a punch to ur face would be :P

  • lol. hes cool shush

  • i bet i could get 30-40fps easyly

  • what that have to do with anything .

  • To be honest GPU watercooling is a waste of money!

  • @1bchrisd1

    Agree mate!

    Stock Air Cooler will just do the job fine.

  • why?

  • Great work :)

  • Wow .. this is so efficient & looks cool.

    you could push the card a little further .

    Cheers Trub :)

  • Dammit, I don't know should I buy 5970 or upcoming 5890..? I have been thinking about 3x 24'' monitors in eyefinity setup.

  • 5970..

  • pc-porn?

    hahah

    funny shit

    <3

  • This is a joke. Eddy's blocks rules them all.

  • Damn the koolance has done such a good job. so much difference in temps with the stock ari cooler aint did.

    Damn i just cant wait i wanna rudh into the stores and buy 1x HD5970 but something stops me. dunno should i wait for the gtx395 will there be so much difference.......

  • Fermi has failed very hardly so far...

    Search up some reviews from tomshardware or semiaccurate about the fermi chip, it's huge, overheats easily, and costs a shitload.

  • It ain't out and while I agree that it will probably be a failure for gaming, there is no way of knowing that it will cost a shitload and they would never release a card that overheats to the point of failure or crash, ati and nvidia always have a "good enough" heat sink for their cards. It isn't going to be out for a good while so that definitely is a huge mistake IMO. Also how is your comment relevant beyond the fact that there is a video card in the video?

  • Lol man just replied on my comment which one worths m8.....

    trub's vids are always gr8 ....... ;)

  • @milodaman2 and is being unveiled at CES 2010 ^.^

  • DangerDen anyone?

  • Looks wonderful!

  • Wow! nearly in half! the temps

  • thats crazy 39 degrees

  • 11th!

  • ele tem bokinha de xupá pingóla

  • exactly :)

  • you should send me the stuff that you dont want that you are done with =D i give it to....uhhh charities

  • Trube!!! Post more videos more often!!! I love your vids so much <3333333

    no homo

  • Loved the Robocop sound effect!

  • Koolance makes great products.

  • lol no gpus were harmed pffft... i can tell he likes blowing up expensive shit... hence the gtx 280 oc video lol

  • except if he did sapphire RMA is garbage and would decline the RMA

    unlike evga

  • Yeah that is true.. And thanks for the people that thumbed me down. I was making a serious comment.

  • dam you pushed that thing

  • noppppppe

  • Great review as always.

  • why do i love you so?
