In order to cater to users who require excellent graphical performance boosts and exceptional cooling from their graphic cards, ASUS, world-leading producer of top quality graphics solutions, has today introduced two ranges of self-designed graphics cards, namely the EAH4870X2 and the latest EAH4830 Series. These ASUS designed graphics cards are equipped with specially designed fansinks that deliver extreme cooling of up to 24°C for the GPU and low noise-levels of only 29 dB—greatly enhancing the gaming enjoyment of users. The inclusion of the Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) shield, Covered Chokes, low RDS (on) mosfets and the Stabilizer Solid Polymer Aluminum Capacitors infuses extreme performance with durability for total peace of mind.



Enjoy Up to 24°C Cooler GPUs with Specially Designed Fansink
A specially designed Tri-Fansink is utilized with the ASUS self-designed EAH4870X2 Series to effectively keep both GPUs and other critical heat generating components cool. Three large fans bring in massive amounts of cool air to dissipate heat away from both sides. The Jet Engine design of the fansink also channels more centralized air stream for higher air pressure and better heat dissipation efficiency. Furthermore, this fansink also features a skive-fin heatsink which is manufactured to high technical requirements that maximizes heat dissipation and minimizes any chance of overheating. With this Tri-Fansink, the temperature of both GPUs can thus be lowered up to an amazing 24ºC in comparison to reference design boards. The latest EAH4830 Series also comes equipped with a specially designed fansink to quickly transfer heat away from the GPU for extreme cooling*. Besides the extraordinary cooling capacity, the fansink on the EAH4830 Series operates with noise levels of only 29 dB—almost imperceptible in a quiet room, catering to users who require maximum cooling without excessive fan rotation noise.

Unparalleled Efficiency and Performance with Ultimate Armaments
Keeping in line with ASUS’ Rock Solid promise for quality, the upcoming ASUS self-designed version of the EAH4870X2 and the latest EAH4830 Series will come with several solutions that will help deliver top quality graphic performances. With the EMI shield, 66% of EMI can be reduced for more stable signals; while the Covered Chokes guarantee more efficient power and less heat generation in comparison with traditional Toroidal Coil Chokes. Additionally, the low RDS(on) mosfets lower temperatures by 10–15°C in comparison with the traditional thicker versions, and last but not least, the Stabilizer Solid Polymer Aluminum Capacitors reduces power loss for more stable operations and durability—even under long-term use. Therefore, users will be able to enjoy extreme performance and have peace of mind—only with the ASUS EAH4870X2 and the latest EAH4830 Series.

I'd like that 4870x2. That'd be some fun in oblivion. :) Not so much in linux, though. XD

Looks like Arctic Cooling modified their Accelero Xtreme cooler for the HD4870X2. I might be wrong, but that HD4830 is made by Arctic cooling and looks a lot same. http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.php?idx=153

thats a arctic cooler heatsink and if not they better be filing a lawsuit.

The fan unit isn't identical but very similar. Can't tell about the actual heatsinc without seeing it off of the card.

Arctic VGA fans are very good at cooling, especially Accelero Xtreme. This cooler was 2 year in development and has over 240 Watt of heat dissipation. If modified version for 2 GPUs is used here it will do it's job great. But I am not quite sure about that, because I didn't seen any fins or pipes on the picture.

Im sure they worked closely with AC on this. That is a monster cooler for a monster card!

sweet, they made a special 2 fan cooler 4 head for the 3870X2, I see they are doing even better with the 4870x2... Vcool

3 Fans. Sounds to me like 3 times the noise. The stock cooler looks better to me.
by Duffman (1:26 AM) - Reply
if that cooler is indeed made by AC, it is ultra quiet. I have them on my 2900XT's and they are very very quiet, even at 100%

that 1 cooler looks like it takes up 2 slots?
by Duffman (3:40 PM) - Reply
yeah, it probably does. I know when i put the AC Accelero Extreme on my 2900, it turned it into a triple slot card.
