BFGTech GeForce 6800U OC & Water Block Review

We recently took a look at BFGTech’s GeForce 6800Ultra OC which takes a 6800Ultra and overclocks the core by default. As you can see from the review, this video card is a two slot video card that is air cooled with a heatsink and fan. The BFGTech GeForce 6800Ultra OC overclocks the core from 400MHz to 425MHz. In our overclocking tests of that video card we did manage to achieve a 35MHz increase, getting up to 460MHz completely stable and air cooled.

But what if there was an option to water cool this video card? Well, it just so happens BFGTech offers a water cooled solution! Not only is this 6800Ultra water cooled, but it is also an “OC” part that carries a much higher default core speed. Can you say 470MHz? That’s right, the BFGTech GeForce 6800Ultra OC with Water Block comes with a standard 470MHz core frequency.

…If you are a hardcore enthusiast that is swimming in water cooling, this card is for you. BFGTech currently provides the fastest GeForce 6800Ultra on the planet. The price is hefty, though. At MSRP $599.99 it isn’t for the faint of heart. That said, we don’t ever remember seeing a water cooled piece of desktop computer hardware that carries a lifetime warranty either. If you have the cash, and want the best performing GeForce 6800, the BFGTech 6800Ultra OC with Water Block is the card. BFGTech’s site lists that this product will be shipping to retailers in July, and they are currently taking Pre-Orders.
