Water-Block for GeForce 8800 GTX/Ultra Graphics Cards: Koolance VID-282

I guess the most exciting and useful water-block in this review is the Koolance VID-282, which is meant for cooling Nvidia’s GeForce 8800 GTX and Ultra graphics cards. The small flat box feels surprisingly heavy for its dimensions. The water-block’s model is specified on the face side of the box. Supported fittings and adapters are also listed here.

This box contains a polyurethane tray with the water-block and its accessories.

There’s not much interesting among the accessories, though:

Two types of thermal pads, a pack of Stars thermal grease, screws with plastic spacers, and an installation manual – that’s all you will find included into the Koolance VID-282 kit.

The water-block is cute indeed:

Its base and multi-channel interior are made from copper coated with 21-carat gold. The top cap with the Koolance logo is steel. Everything is polished off to a mirror shine.

The water-block measures 185x120x14mm and is heavier than most super-coolers even without coolant – 907 grams!
