BFG Tech Announces Limited Edition Self-Contained Liquid Cooled Graphics Cards
BFG Technologies Inc., the leading North American and European supplier of advanced NVIDIA-based 3D graphics cards, power supplies, and the Phobos High-Performance Gaming/Home Theater System, announced today the BFG GeForce GTX 285 H2O+ and GeForce GTX 295 H2OC graphics cards with ThermoIntelligence Advanced Cooling Solutions-saving customers time and money by providing a high performance graphics card plus a fully assembled, self-contained liquid cooling solution right out of the box.
The BFG GeForce GTX 285 H2O+ and GeForce GTX 295 H2OC ThermoIntelligence Advanced Cooling Solutions are maintenance-free, self-contained liquid cooling units attached to enthusiast-grade BFG Tech graphics cards that easily install into most systems right out of the box and never need refilling or additional components. These unique solutions feature a top of the line BFG Tech graphics card plus a high-performance cooling loop designed by CoolIT Systems that pushes coolant across the GPU and exhausts heat directly outside of the system chassis. Three different system speed settings-Auto, Quiet, and Maximum-give total control over acoustics and performance. ![]() "We're very excited to be the first company to bring this type of professional grade advanced cooling solution to PC enthusiasts", said John Malley, senior director of marketing for BFG Technologies. "The BFG ThermoIntelligence Advanced Cooling Solutions provide customers a way to get all of the benefits of liquid cooling their graphics cards right out of the box, without having to install a separate liquid cooling system that requires assembly, filling, and challenging maintenance from time to time." Impressive Heat Dissipation Both ThermoIntelligence Advanced Cooling Solutions keep the graphics card running up to 30 degrees Celsius cooler under load as compared to standard air cooled models, which ensures reliable operation and longevity. Custom Cold Plates Both solutions feature highly efficient, custom cold plates that direct cooling liquid over vital parts of each specific graphics card to effectively absorb heat.

They really think a single rad will keep these monsters cool if we overclock them?
Is there any way of being able to purchase just the cooling itself? I dont really need a 285 or 295. |

BFG doesn't sell anything ATI. Have to wait for a listing to tell the price.

Impressive. I'd be very happy with a 4890, 275 or 285 cooled like this. DX 11 just around the corner though, hopefully, so better wait

i like the idea. But I agree that a single radiator just won't be enough. Who knows, maybe we will see better versions later?

You wont ever see an ATI based card from BFG as long as current management are kept around, they have their heads WAY UP nVidias arse, so much so that they wont even consider doing what XFX did and adding ATI cards to their lineup.

Honestly I don't care about BFG. I want EVGA. FYI that rad is fine for what its used for.

This is a great idea, but wont this setup make it impossible for an after market cooler? It would better if there was an option to mount the rad on the outside of the case.

I hate to always be negative but can anyone here SERIOUSLY see anyone who buys a High-Performance Overclocker Video Card, running a Sock CPU cooler?

![]() That came out quiet a while ago, also has a CPU cooler in it's loop. I can't remember where it was reviewed, but I think they ran a Q6600 under it at like 3.4ghz and it did just fine. Going to be a hard card to find though.

Yeah, it didn't do bad, check the review that bta linked, was running a 3.8ghz e8x00 proc and it on that single rad. Granted I do think it should have a bigger rad, and another review I remember seeing tried running a QX9770 on it and it just was too hot.
But something like that most likely is going to be for people who don't know much about OC'ing and want easy WC, so it's a great buy for that.

Had a NICE one 12X24 CM - so it was just the right size for 2x12cm fans - ran them on 5v - was DEAD silent, and worked 10x better than any of these silly little commercial rad's. |
