GIGABYTE Intros World's Most Powerful VGA Cooling Systems at COMPUTEX 2014
GIGABYTE, the leading manufacturer of graphics cards unveils the industry-leading graphics card cooling system during the COMPUTEX 2014. Whatever the preference of air-cooling or liquid-cooling, gamers can find the most outstanding VGA cooling system designs this year! Continuation of the stunning performance of WINDFORCE 450W cooling system, GIGABYTE once again self-breaks and launches the WINDFORCE Air Cooling System 600 Watt Edition. It is not only equipped with the patented "Triangle Cooling" technology, GIGABYTE also re-designs the fans and the fins of the cooling system and using the high-performance composite cooper heat pipes for new WINDFORCE. The heat dissipation performance is enhanced up to 33% than the reference card. GIGABYTE can proudly announce that WINDFORCE 600 Watt is the best air cooling system for graphics card in the world!
Even more, GIGABYTE introduces WATERFORCE All-in-one External Liquid Cooling System with 3 GeForce GTX 780 Ti, specially designed for the gamers who dream about a silent and super gaming PC. With intuitive control panel, WATERFORCE allows gamers to separately control the GPU temperature, fans speed and pumps speed. No more noise nightmare or harass of uneven temperatures while using multi graphics cards. With the world's first 3 way SLI water cooling solution, WATERFORCE, gamers can easily enjoy every moment and victory during the games.
The best air-cooling system ever - WINDFORCE 600W
GIGABYTE understands that a fan is crucial to the graphics card, so only the fan with the most efficiency is selected for WINDFORCE. Therefore, GIGABYTE constantly evolving the WINDFORCE to provide the latest and the best cooling solution to gamers. The latest WINDFORCE 600W with excusive cooling technology can signifcantly disspate up to 600W heat.
Patented "Triangle Cool" technology enhances 35% cooling performance
Features with the patented "Triangle Cool" technology, WINDFORCE 600W can bring away the heat easily from GPU. The cooling performance is 35% better than the regular fin designs.
Unique fan design increases 23% CFM
The whole new fan design with special 3D stripe curve can split the air flow, reduce the calm zone and increase the cooling performance. The air flow is amazingly increased up to 23%!
Special fin architecture augments 45% heat dissipation area
GIGABYTE also designs WINDFORCE 600W with a special fin architecture. The height differentiation design increases more than 45% heat dissipation area for better cooling capacity and significantly reduce the air resistance.
Composite heat-pipes increases 29% cooling capacity
The cooling system is supplemented by the composite heat-pipes, a heat-transfer device combines both thermal conductivity and phase transition for efficiently managing the transfer of heat between two solid interfaces which increases 29% of cooling capacity.
With only 2-slot height heat sink, the compact WINDFORCE 600W increases more than 33% thermal performance. It is not only the most powerful air-cooling system, but the best choice for a ultimate gaming experience.
All-in-one external liquid cooling system - WATERFORCE
WATERFORCE is specially designed for the gamers who dream about a silent and powerful super PC. With the exclusive 3-way SLI closed loop liquid cooling system, it can dissipate the heat of GPU, memory and MOSFET. The WATERFORCE intuitive control panel can let gamers to check the performance of the 3 graphics cards from the panel and separately adjust the temperature, fan speed and pump speed for uniform temperature of the cards.
42.9% lower temperature and 13.1dB lower noise than reference cooler
Comparing with 3-way SLI reference cooler, the cooling solution by WATERFORCE presents 42.9% lower temperature and 13.1 dB lower noises!
No more noise nightmare or harass of uneven temperatures while using multi graphics cards. No more try & error liquid cooling system DIY. With the world's 1st 3 way SLI water cooling solution, WATERFORCE, gamers can easily install and enjoy the battles.

The way i see it is that the point of contact needs to get hot enough so convection can work properly as the liquid needs to heat up so it can turn to gas then take that energy to the cooling area to be wasted and become a liquid again then wick back down..
i do like to see heat pipes. but i don't like to see the efficiency of them diminished by cooling them at the point where they should be gathering the energy needed to work.
Personally i prefer to see double layer heat pipes. as this would allow the lower level to heat up properly to work, and the second layer would only start to work effectively if temperatures exceeded the point where the single layer was unable to cope.
if your directly cooling the heat pipe at the point of contact then you may as well have a big copper block with grooves cut in it to increase the surface area for the air, and just solder some fins to the side of that. im not saying that would not be effective. infact it would probably be a lot more effective than just cooling heat pipes at the point of contact. but then you lose the benefits of heat pipes, which is to be able to make efficient and effective heat sink which are smaller and lighter.
With the size of the unit they should have built in support for CPU cooling
