CPUFX
also included a waterblock designed for GeForce4 graphics
cards (pictured below); this cooler is just as impressive as
the one for the CPU, the only drawback I could find was that
the mounting holes are 80mm apart, which, as far as I know
no other card features. Hopefully NVIDIA will stick to this
design in the future and let the NV30 and other chips have
the same kind of layout.
Later
this week we will have a detailed article on how to volt-mod
and water-cool your GeForce4 videocard for extreme
overclocking, so stay tuned and be sure to see the pics
below to get a good idea of what we are talking about.
Overall, CPUFX put a great product in
our hands however it does have its room for improvement,
specially in the radiator and the way it's being fitted. Though if you are looking for an efficient
watercooling setup CPUFX's Z4 'intercooler' watercooler won't disappoint.
CPUFX is also first to offer a 12v water pump certified for ATX
power supplies, showing that they are indeed offering state of the art watercooling to the consumer.
