Breaks 23,500 in 3DMark06

We've already proven that ATI's Radeon HD 3870 X2 is fast, very fast. Still, that's not always enough for everyone. Let's face it, people always want to go faster.

In an order to do so, you'll probably need a liquid cooling solution similar to CoolIT's third instalment in the Reference Series line of liquid cooling systems. One major advantage to CoolIT's cooling solution, other than the improved cooling and better overclocking, is that it slims the HD 3870 X2 down to a single-slot card. Handy!

Geoff Lyon, CEO of CoolIT Systems states:

"We are proud to successfully, leverage the micro-channel technology developed at the AMD thermal laboratory in Toronto in our solution.  The cooling system for this card is extremely sophisticated given that we are cooling what amounts to a full CrossFire set-up on a single card.  When you consider that most cards having only 1 GPU are typically taking up 2 PCIe slots compared to the CoolIT solution which not only delivers extremely effective cooling and higher clock speeds but also reduces the thickness to a single slot the combined CoolIT and AMD offering represents tremendous value. We recently benchmarked this card and were able to hit over 23,500 in 3D Mark 06, which makes this, by far, the fastest video card/cooling combination we’ve ever tested."

As you'd expect, there's a video to prove that 3DMark score:

Is it paramount that all hardware overclocking videos contain the most beardy (not to say boring) presentation? Just check out all the sliding text… wooo

Yes, it is mandatory, as is watching it with a bowl of M&M's on your desk:)
