BFG Announces Four New Graphics Cards Featuring ThermoIntelligence Cooling
BFG Technologies announced today the release of the BFG NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT OC and OC2 graphics cards with ThermoIntelligence cooling. Both cards are available now in 256MB & 512MB versions at leading retailers and etailers throughout North America and Europe.
Better cooling solutions often come at the expense of space inside your computer, many of them taking up two add-in card slots when installed. The BFG 8600 GT series with ThermoIntelligence fansinks only use a single PCI Express slot, leaving you with room for other add-in cards.
Quiet by design
Many custom cooling solutions today increase the fan speed to reduce temperatures, but this results in excess noise. The 8600 GT ThermoIntelligence fansink was specifically designed not to increase acoustic noise while providing, on average, an 11°C lower GPU load temperature. For users running two graphic cards in an NVIDIA SLI configuration, the thermal performance improves with the primary graphics card operating at up to 18°C cooler
