Water cooling the new 8800 gt

I doubt it but does the Nautilus GPU block fit the new 8800 GT video card? I currently have the Nautilus 500 water cooling system with dual Nautilus GPU water blocks for my 2 7900 gt's. If not, Does Corsair have GPU blocks that do fit or are planning on having any?

 

Thank you

Derek, does that mean it looks like the GPU block for the 7900 series will fit the 8800?

 

Thank you to you and RAM GUY for your responses. I'm sure that there are a lot of people interested (or will be interested) in this subject.

RAM GUY,

 

I am reading a 8800GT review from VR-Zone and it states the following:

 

"A piece of good news for the enthusiast, the 8800GT comes with similar mounting holes as the the 7900GT/GTX as illustrated below!!! Enthusiast can recycle their Zalman VF700/900 and other similar coolers with their new 8800GT! woohoo!"

Does this mean that I can use the Corsair Nautilus GPU blocks? Maybe it's just the GPU mounting screws that are similar. Oh, well.

 

Thanks

The mounting holes are the same. The component placement is different. Full coverage GPU blocks for the 7 series such as Corsairs will not cool all needed components. GPU only blocks that worked with the 7 series will work with the new 8800 GT cards.
