Heatkiller company is preparing a new waterblock for GeForce GTX 680. This would be the first waterblock for GTX 680 sold separately.

Product is to be available on May 7th for $129.99.

HEATKILLER® GPU-X³ GTX 680 Hole Edition

Its unique design gives extraordinary qualities to the HEATKILLER® GPU-X³. Its hallmarks are low height, state of the art cooling performance, and highest quality of material.

All water carrying parts of the cooler are made from pure electrolytic copper or stainless steel, and the connection block is made from black POM. The top is protected against staining by a special clear varnish. The design of the “Hole Edition” features a perforated cover plate.

Aside from the GPU, memory and voltage regulators are cooled. An extremely fine microstructure sits right above the GPU and guarantees, assisted by a low residual base thickness, optimal cooling performance. Integrated isolating stand-offs allow easy mounting of the cooler.

To reduce flow resistance and overall weight, all channels are constructed as wide as possible. Threads on both sides of the connection block ease integration into the cooling loop.

Dual- and triple-connectors for SLI-setups are available.

For easy installation, pre-cut thermal pads are included.

EK and Aquagrfx both have blocks available sold separately, I don't know how they can claim the first. That being said, the design looks interesting.

Cause what're you gonna do? Sue them to change it?

That said, "Hole Edition" is possibly the worst name for a watercooling part, on top of being a terrible name overall, for anything.

Well, if you ignore "Leaky Edition"

As long as they don't call it the Titanic edition....

HEIL who??

Must admit it's very nice looking, be nice if they did a black version.

They should've named it 'Holy Edition' for more pun for the buck.
Naming it 'Hole Edition' is kinda asking punters to expect 'Knob System' for accessories.

Names aside, what exactly the function of those holes?
Bad question phrasing aside, I seriously want to know.
