(Cooler system = less drive bays). A tube will connect the radiator to the cooling block mounted to the graphics card.
The liquid-cooled cards were developed by CoolIT and PNY and will include the Dual Drive Bay VGA Cooler for extra cool oomph and, according to PNY press release, cool an overclocked system up to 40 percent more than the average cooling system.
