Take some expert german engineering knowledge, add in the latest NVIDIA 9800 graphics card, a splash of pure copper and some water and you have the latest watercooling solution from Aquagrafx. Their new Aqyagrafx 9800 GX2 cooler should be available by the time you read this and we have to say, it looks mighty fine. The cooler is made of 2 consecutively circulated coolers made of pure copper (99.9%). The coolers are extremely thin and therefore pretty light, so the total weight is under 800g. The aquagrafx achieves excellent temperatures and cools both GPUs, mosfets, Ram and the bridge chip. The copper elements are connected via a terminal made of Delrin. The connectors of the aquagrafx are G 1/4".

Pricing for the cooler will  be 129.90 Euro and for a graphic card 9800 GX2 with mounted cooler and warranty 619.90 Euro.

Their hard disk series 'Aquadrive' also has a new arrival to the stable. The aquadrive quad copper edition.

This hard disk cooler can take up to 4 hard disks which are cooled and decoupled very well in the completely encapsulated case. Merely three 5 1/4" bays are used and the cooler contains a fluid reservoir at the same time, this one has a greater capacity than the aquatube. The new hard disk series also uses delrin as case material which takes vibrations better than aluminum due to its structure. Solid copper plates are used inside. Their weight approximately corresponds to the weight of an aquadrive dual aluminium. In turn these are surrounded by a water jacket which also takes and lowers vibrations. The whole aquadrive is kept in the already approved rubber components which decouple it from the case. The inside of the case is provided with a special layer covering to take high-frequency noises. 
 
To be able to take SATA and ATA plates without too big case openings, the openings are executed ex works for SATA as of now and can be used for ATA drives by breaking them out. The integrated fluid reservoir is filled by an enclosed squeeze bottle at the front. By two tubes the two reservoirs are communicating with each other so that the filling level compensates itself. The current water level can comfortably be read in the right profile. A little red ball indicates the fill level. The aquadrive quad is available for EUR 139.90.
