OCIA.net takes a look at the Swiftech Apex Watercooling Kit in their latest review.
The results here blew me away. Using the OEM air cooler on the 7800GT, idle temperatures were never under 42° C sitting idle over night, on a cold night. Average idle GPU temperatures dropped from 46-50° C to just 31° C. With the OEM cooler the GPU would reach temperatures of 70° C under load. As you can see in the graph, even when running 1.7v through the CPU (in turn raising the overall temperature of the fluid in our system) the GPU only reached 42° C.
