German Etailer Posts Reference Radeon RX 6900 XT LC (LCS water cooled)
Initially, this puppy would only be available for the OEM segment, yet our neighbors in Germany are now actively selling the reference AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Liquid Cooled.
The water-cooled graphics card was announced by AMD back in June. Like the standard, air-cooled version of the Radeon RX 6900 XT, the LC version of the card is nearly identical. As a result, the number of compute units is unchanged. The water-cooled version has slightly higher clock speeds, ergo a total board power of 330W (300W normal reference). The RX 6900 XT LC is fitted with 5120 Stream Processors that can operate at speeds of up to 2435 MHz. Despite the fact that the card has the same amount of memory as the air-cooled RX 6900 XT variant, the memory speed has been boosted from 16Gbps to 18Gbps, videocardz noticed.

AMD has never stated that it will make its way to the DIY market in the near future. Initially, however, vendors began selling the card to us common folk just a few days after the announcement was made, albeit very limited and that quickly stopped. Despite the obvious breach of AMD guidelines, those listings are still exposed to the public. It appears that the card is now available for customers in Europe as well as the United States. PowerColor's model (product number AXRX 6900XT 16GBD6-MW2DHC) is listed for sale by German retailer Mindfactory for as much as ~1749 EUR. As you'll notice, the card is now in stock and being shipped to consumers.

For such a price it should come automatically in silver-gold gift wrapping, without an extra charge of 3.90€. They should also throw a whole kilogram worth of gummy bear bags into the box while they are at it.

It looks pretty good i think but i would of liked one with a 240mm Rad.
Plus this must perform really well with the clocks it's pushing and the extra memory speed.
