aqua computer kryographics GTX 980 Acryl Edition - nickel [23614]

The problem is exacerbated by their own overclocking, because as temperatures can reach critical levels. In short: Who wants in games or even operating at Benchen a low setting and possibly simultaneously wants to turn the clock screw is barely past a water cooling. In addition to the usual components (radiator, pump, reservoir) a suitable cooler for NVIDIA GTX 980 is of course necessary to - as this model of German quality manufacturer aqua computer.

The kryographics solves the many years successful and popular aquagraFX- or aquagrATIx from whose benefits retains, but has been specially optimized with respect to the flow behavior. For example, has the new Delrin terminal over a much larger area, and thus a lower flow resistance. It is not compatible with the serial aquagrATIx / aquagraFX, but offers as the old port terminal per two G1 / 4-inch ports on both sides, the unused threads with the two included screw plugs are closed.

During the actual heatsink kryographics is a full-block design in which all heat-intensive areas of the graphics card are covered. The high purity and in addition in this release nickel copper base is polished at the contact points to GPU, memory chips and voltage transformers to ensure optimal heat transfer. In addition, an excellent thermal pad included for the range of voltage regulation.

On the other side of the copper bottom of the water flows through parallel next to the GPU and RAM includes the area of Spannunsgwandler with a high flow rate, which is especially for the ambitious overclocking not to be underestimated. Directly above the graphics chip, the CNC-machined copper plate to a structure of many very small channels, which increases the heat absorbing surface of the GPU clearly.

For the cover of the kryographics aqua computer used in this edition clear acrylic, so excited especially by flowing coolant additive color sensation. In addition, the top is framed in a stylish stainless steel frame and in the back there is a sunken plaque with "GTX 980" logo. The water cooler is thanks to the integrated spacer very easy and above all safe to install as before. Due to the elegant, flat design, several graphics cards can easily combined in a SLI combo, for which optional kryoconnect connection kits are required.

In order to ensure a uniform contact pressure at the voltage regulators is included also a small stainless steel backplate included.

Notes: For integration into the cooling circuit connections are needed, which are not supplied. Thermal paste is also separately purchase necessary to establish contact between cooler and video card. In addition, make sure that the radiator is designed exclusively for NVIDIA graphics card from the GeForce GTX 980 with 4 GB of graphics memory and reference design! The original radiator must be removed before installation, so the warranty expires!
