NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPUs liquid cooled by BFG

Submerging a motherboard with all of the adapters and fans inside the case into vegetable oil is indeed not new and not very popular. This has fewer upsides than problems it may cause while assembling and using the PC. Makes it of course more exiting, but prime advantage of all this – liquid cooling – has found interest between overclockers and gamers. So, a liquid cooling kit for a processor alone is an average thing these days. And now we got an announcement from BFG which sais they will do VGA cards with liquid cooling.


BFG's plans on this embrace only NVIDIA's GPUs. Two models of the top GeForce range are going to be fitted with BFG ThermoIntelligence Advanced Cooling Solutions on purpose, which surely is better performance. This works out well for BFG GeForce GTX 295 H2OC and BFG GeForce GTX 295 H2OC – both get 100 – 200 MHz faster clock speeds at core, shaders and memory.

Another important thing is that BFG ThermoIntelligence Advanced Cooling Solutions require no service during maintenance whatsoever: no assemblage, no coolant change – nothing. It even provides variable and adjustable performance. Three settings: quiet, auto and maximum are aimed to balance between cooling power and noise. I just hope noise in maximum position is tolerable because generally the idea is good and hopefully be applied to more graphic cards.
