EK-FC3870 X2 - Acetal CF: same as the original acrylic block, but the top is made of quality POM Acetal.
EK-FC3870 X2 - CF Nickel: base is made of nickel plated copper, while top is made of quality acrylic glass and back ram heat sinks are made of black anodized aluminium.

All three versions weight about 920g and convert the HD 3870 X2 into single-slot cooled video card.

Looks like it cools the PLX chip too. Do those even need cooling?

I'll most likely get a couple X2's eventually, hoping someone will release it with GDDR4 at some point and refresh the PCIe bridge to 2.0 - asking a bit too much d'you think?

Still, these have been the best blocks I've seen so far.

And some of the most expensive. While I like the third one, thats a bit of a price hike if you ask me. That translates to about $180 to about $210 USD depending on conversion rates.

Back here in Europe, Ek-Blocks are allways priced slightly beneath the corresponding Danger Den Parts.

crossfire and SLI only let you run a single monitor anyway.

Thats what makes it strange that this card even has two DVI ports, as crossfire is always on.
