Sapphire Technology has just introduced a new Blizzard liquid cooled model in its Radeon X1900 series. Taking up a single PCI slot in addition to the PCI-Express slot occupied by the graphics card, the new Blizzard cooler is a sealed and silent liquid cooling solution. Maximum efficiency is achieved by the use of a Pure Copper Water Block on the GPU and a silent and powerful 12V mini pump. Air is extracted from the case by an integral transparent blue LED fan, passed through the radiator and vented out of the case at the rear mounting bracket. Two speeds of operation give a choice of lower noise or higher efficiency (18dBA at 2000RPM, 26dBA at 2500RPM). The Blizzard cooler was developed in conjunction with Thermaltake and is exclusive to Sapphire.
