NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPUs liquid cooled by BFG

NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPUs liquid cooled by BFG

Submerging a motherboard with all the adapters and fans in the case of vegetable oil is in fact not new and not very popular. This has less problems than upside it may cause during the assembly and to the PC. Does it come out naturally, but the main advantage of all this – water – has an interest among overclockers and gamers. That is, a liquid cooling kit for a single processor is an average, which in those days. And now we have an announcement from BFG, the SAIs are they VGA cards with liquid cooling.

BFG’s plans for which this is only the NVIDIA GPUs. Two models of the top-GeForce series are to be with BFG Advanced Cooling Thermo Intelligence Solutions for the purpose, which is certainly a better performance. This works well for the BFG GeForce GTX 295 H2OC and BFG GeForce GTX 295 H2OC – both receive 100 – 200 MHz faster clock rates for core, shader and memory.

Another important thing is that BFG Thermo Intelligence Advanced Cooling Solutions require no service in the maintenance as well as always: no installation, no coolant change – nothing. There are even variable and adjustable power. Three settings: quiet, car and aim at maximizing the balance between cooling and noise. I just hope noise in the maximum position is tolerable, because in general the idea is good and will hopefully be more graphics cards.
