red1776 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 No doubt that card requires a horizontal mobo or a trip to the hardware store to construct a support for it. I wonder how much all that yields temp wise over a twin-frozr type cooler? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchoman1 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 when it gets to this point, why not watercool? its interesting as an engineering feat, but its practicality is laughable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeGunny Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 when it gets to this point, why not watercool? its interesting as an engineering feat, but its practicality is laughable I'm pretty sure it's more intended as eye-candy than for it's performance. Kinda like Cold Cathodes, absolutely useless. But people buy them for the looks. While they're at it, why don't they strap a Harley on the side and clamp a turbine or two underneath it.. FFS talk about overkill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red1776 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 when it gets to this point, why not watercool? its interesting as an engineering feat, but its practicality is laughable I am not sure, but I think that is how they intend it. They are the bling spinners of the computer community. This was their take on the GTX 560Ti last year: It came with its own set of paints (ya beat me to it Dragons ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 The best you can do with water is ambient too...doesn't stop people from spending a lot on cooling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
