ECS Prepares Watercooled GeForce GTS 250 SLI Combo Video Cards
Our Turkey colleagues from Donanimhaber report of a new Elitegroup combo, that consists of two ECS GeForce GTS 250 Hydra cards. Set to be sold under limited numbers, the NGTS250-512MX-W and NGTS250-1GMU-W Hydra packs contain two 512 MB or 1 GB GeForce GTS 250s, a Thermaltake BigWater 760i water cooling system to chill them and a game bundle to make the offering even more tempting. Most likely both SLI combos will come with stock clocks - 738 MHz for the core, 1836 MHz for the shaders and 2200 MHz for the memory - but with water cooling on top overclocking them yourself won't be a problem. Expect the new ECS couples to become available sometime next week.

Go ECS.
I had an ECS AM2 board and had nothing but good to say about it. Major props to ECS!
Isn't the GTS250 suppose to have 1 x 6-pin connecter?
SLI a GTX250? That isn't a lot more powerful than a GTX260b/285 but will cost you twice as much and use twice the power consumption!
PS those look like 9800GTX+ cards, they're much longer then the normal GTS250.
The thing I noticed is that the cards apparently have fans on them as well, what's up with that? The splitter looks rather crude.
@ the rest, this is the same thing that they had last year, but the changed it from the 9800GTX Hydra the GTS250, nothing new here.
Two of the worst companies in the computer industry pair together to form a product soo bad, neither could have come up with it without help.
Just give them a chance :ohwell:
Within 3 months, all 6 had just crapped out.
Another story, for my Senior project in high school, my Consultant worked as a tech support guy at a local data center.
Had a computer tower inside a rack catch fire and send a column of smoke out the top of the rack. The culprit? ECS board.
I'm sorry, but if it's got the ECS name on it, I'll pass. And the Thermaltake Water Cooling is just icing on the cake of rejection.
And I agree about thermaltake . . . *shudders*
