Dual-GPU cards will only be catered towards the enthusiasts and extreme gamers’ market, as not many would actually want to fork out so much money just for a computer system. But those that would go to such extreme would be extreme gamers and enthusiasts, and they would usually want the best system, which would usually include a custom water cooling system too.

Just weeks after AMD officially announce their dual-GPU Radeon HD 6990 graphic card, EK has reviewed their EK water-block for AMD’s HD 6990, dubbed the EK-FC6990. The waterblock uses a massive piece of copper to cover the HD 6990 from end to end as well as an improved internal design with more fins that should allow for lower operation temperatures and increased overclocking headroom.

Together with the EK-FC6990 waterblock, EK is also preparing an HD 6990 backplate. This was designed so that it will make contact with the rear memory chips to provide some much-needed passive cooling. A release date has not been made official, but the EK-FC6990 has already entered production and is expected to hit the market in about 10 to 15 days. Pricing is also unknown at this time.

If you look at the photos, the dual-slot bracket of the card is missing, but a company representative of EK mentioned that they are also considering manufacturing a single slot bracket for the AMD HD 6990.

Koolance has also introduced their newest full-cover watercooling block designed specifically for the AMD Radeon HD 6990 dual-GPU card. Dubbed as the VID-AR699, the block comes with a high-performance microfin (0.5mm) design, a solid copper construction, an anti-corrosive nickel plating and has G 1/4 threads. The VID-AR699 will become available next week for a retail price of $159.99.
