Asus intros AquaTank graphics card

Asus has launched its new EN8800GTX AquaTank/HTDP/768M graphics card with water-cooling technology.

The new graphic card would push performance by 11 percent and still be 12°C cooler than generic GF8800GTX cards, Asus said in a statement.

Vinay Shetty, Product Manager—Component Business, Asus India said, “With the increased power of the GeForce 8800GTX graphics processor, comes an increased need for good cooling. A GeForce 8800GTX video card with stock cooling can reach temperatures around 80°C at full load, something that isn’t ideal in the long run.”

“Asus has chosen another route when it comes to finding a good cooling solution for an overclocked card. The Asus EN8800GTX AquaTank has combined an 8800GTX video card with a water cooling device,” he added.

EN8800GTX AquaTank/HTDP/768M can bear higher clock speeds. The AquaTank all-in-one watercooled module, allows the GPU to run at temperatures 12°C lower than the reference thermal module design.

Additionally, the module fits perfectly into standard PCI slots inside the chassis that saves precious PC interior space, the statement said.
