CoolIT is prepping it's Omni ALC cooler, a self-contained universal liquid cooling solution the company claims "provides aggressive heat dissipation for optimal graphics performance," and that includes Nvidia's Fermi architecture.
"When you pair the world's fastest GPU with the first-ever universal GPU liquid cooling solution, the results are visually astonishing," remarked Geoff Lyon, CEO of CoolIT Systems. "This combination will shatter benchmarks and deliver the most pulse-pounding graphics performance to date."
CoolIT says the Omni ALC represents a departure from traditional GPU cooling design, in that you'll no longer need to purchase an entirely new cooling solution for each generation of videocard. Instead, only the GPU-specific interposer plate will need to be changed.
The Omni ALC will ship this summer - no word yet on price.

Warning: Use of this heat transplacing device will create excess temperatures if used inside. Use only in a well vented area. Do not leave computer to idle unattended. Doing so will void the warranty on this cooling device, the videocard you use it with, whatever your computer sits on, and the paint covering the walls. CoolIt will not be liable for damages beyond the cooler. If leak should occur, please call the local fire department, or 911 imediately, then contact customer support. Coverage void in the state of W. Virginia.

LOL! You forgot to mention that you also void the warranty from nVidia itself by replacing the original cooling system. But if something were to go wrong, warranties are going to be the least of your problems because now your going to have to deal with federal nuclear disaster team.

The only problem with theses coolers is as soon as you remove the heat sink you void manufacturer warranty. Fermi is gonna cost $500. Hmmm..... no i don't think i'm gonna take a chance. You could say well just buy it with it already installed, but they gouge you on prices for that from the manufacturer. The sad part is that the fermi chips are gonna run sooooooooo hot (which is bad) that these coolers are probably recommended even if you don't overclock..... Nvidia FTW... NOT!

Not necessarily. Both EVGA and XFX state you're allowed to roll with your own cooler (and overclock) without voiding the warranty, so long as you don't cause any physical damage in the process. This does not cover volt modding.
As for the rest, i'd suggest hanging onto the stock cooler, in case the card ever need to be RMA'd. As long as the failure didn't have anything to do with the new cooler (and if you installed it properly, it shouldn't), I'd have no moral objection to this.
