EVGA launched GeForce GTX 295 Co-Op Edition on Friday, as we revealed, well - on Thursday. As the weekend was drawing to a close, we received images of Hydro Copper waterblock for the GTX295 Co-Op (http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=200-CU-HC95-B1&family=Hydro%20Copper%20Waterblocks) card. This is a semi-cover waterblock, covering both GPUs and front system memory on front of the card. Memory on the back of the card remains uncooled, though.
With EVGA, you have two options - You can either that purchase the Hydro Copper block now, or wait for company to start their speed binning process and get the best GTX295 from their stock and pay a small premium.

EVGA's block for single-slot GTX295 is a high-flow design, typical for a member of their Hydro Copper series.
However, the GPU block still comes with an annoying flaw. All EVGA cards we had so far come with a dual-slot bracket, featuring room for two DVI ports, S-VHS output and well, whole top side dedicated to air-flow exhaust. Since Hydro Copper requires no air and fits in the single-slot, we find the whole idea of losing a slot for air cooling - on a water-cooled card - a bit ludicrous. In any case, you can see the water-block and how it fits on the GTX295 in a video featuring Jacob Freeman and Agent Tiny. (http://www.evga.com/videos/gtx295coop.asp)
