Sycom Hydro LC Graphics Plus RTX 5090 Launched in Japan, Cooled by Noctua Fans & LYNK+ Block

Sycom has added another highly-customized GeForce RTX 50-series graphics card to its arsenal of ultra-premium gaming hardware offerings; in liquid-cooled form. Unlike other AIBs, the tech firm only bundles their over-engineered offerings with build-to-order (BTO) gaming rigs. Mid-way through 2025, the Japanese system integrator released its NVIDIA "Blackwell" GPU-powered generation of Silent Master products—consisting of RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB, the RTX 5070 12 GB, and 5060 Ti 16 GB options. Custom cooling solutions utilize Noctua's trademark brown high-end fans. Sycom's business model is exclusive to Japan, but international news outlets continue to cover the company's fanciest gizmos.

Two PC systems are now available with the just released Hydro LC Graphics Plus GeForce RTX 5090 32 GB model. Sycom's Lepton Hydro Extreme WSX870A G-Master (Intel) and Hydro Extreme X870A (AMD) pre-builds are eye wateringly expensive prospects; both priced tagged at over 1,000,000 yen ($6400+ USD). An early morning social media outlined revised methodologies for a new generation: "dual water cooling takes things to the next level with newly designed, original water-cooled PCs featuring Hydro LC Graphics Plus and a GeForce RTX 5090 32 GB GPU. The traditional hybrid system, which uses water cooling for the GPU and air cooling for the video memory and power supply, has been completely redesigned to adopt a full water-cooled system—water-cooling the GPU, video memory, and power supply (via LYNK+)." Mirroring upper-tier Silent Master component selections, Sycom has opted for a trio of Noctua 120 mm NF-A12x25 (25 mm-thick) fans, albeit mounted onto a 360 mm radiator.

Sycom Releases GeForce RTX 50-series Silent Master Graphics Cards with Noctua Fans

Sycom is a Japan-based OEM that specializes in build-to-order (BTO) gaming PCs and components such as graphics cards. Last year, the company released the Silent Master GeForce RTX 40-series "Ada" graphics cards that come with a custom cooling solution that uses an aluminium fin-stack heatsink, and a pair of large 120 mm Noctua case fans for ventilation; and this week, they launched the Silent Master RTX 50-series "Blackwell" graphics card series.

The series includes three models, the RTX 5070 Ti, the RTX 5070, and the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB. At this point, it's not known if Sycom designed the heatsink or PCB—there's a possibility that these are sourced from a graphics card OEM without the cooler shroud and fans, and topped up with a custom cooler shroud, backplate, and a pair of Noctua-sourced high-end fans. The RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 cards come with larger coolers that use a pair of 120 mm NF-A12x25 (25 mm-thick), while the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB card comes with a pair of 92 mm NF-A9x14. All three cards lack any form of factory overclock, their main claim to fame is their low noise. Unlike the ASUS Noctua Edition graphics cards, the three cards have relatively well managed card thickness of 3.5-slot or under. All three cards are being sold under the BTO (build to order) model, exclusively in Japan.

Sycom Silent Master Range Offers New RTX 40 SUPER Noctua Options

Sycom's "Silent Master" range of GeForce RTX 40-series graphics cards has welcomed two new GPU options: RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and RTX 4070 SUPER. As evidenced in accompanying product shots, the Japanese manufacturer has partnered with Noctua—the latter's flagship NF-A12x25 120 mm PWM fan is utilized within Sycom's custom air-cooled solution. According to a press release, the original fan cover design "was created by Nagao Seisakusho/Nagao Industry."

Silent Master graphics cards are not factory overclocked—Sycom prefers to concentrate on quiet operation rather than heavily ramped up performance. A good chunk of their product pages are dedicated to audio recordings of hushed operation. They claim noise levels of 31.4 dB when idle, and 42.1 dB (max) for their GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16 GB model. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12 GB posted 31.4dB when idle and 37.9dB at full whack. Silent Master graphics cards are only available within "BTO option" systems—Sycom specializes in pre-built PC systems, with plenty of Noctua parts housed within.

Sycom Launches Custom RTX 3090 Ti with Asetek/Noctua Liquid Cooling

Japanese company Sycom has recently released the RTX 3090 Ti G-Master Hydro as a new graphics card option for their prebuilt systems. The Sycom RTX 3090 Ti G-Master Hydro features a triple fan onboard air-cooler in addition to an external Asetek Hybrid GFX 240 mm AIO with Noctua NF-A12x25 ULN fans. The card also features RGB lighting and achieves a temperature reduction of 10°C - 15°C compared to the default air-cooler. The card doesn't feature any factory overclocking but the increased thermal headroom allows the card to maintain an average boost clock of 1802 MHz increasing performance by 6%. Sycom currently offers the RTX 3090 Ti G-Master Hydro as an option in 6 computers paired alongside the Core i9-12900K, Core i7-12700K, or Ryzen 7 5800X with base prices ranging from 562,180 yen (4320 USD) to 670,870 yen (5150 USD).

Japanese OEM Tosses Out GTX TITAN X Heatsink for AIO Liquid Cooler

Japanese OEM gaming PC builder Sycom addressed the biggest shortcoming of reference NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X - heat (which runs into a thermal throttle too often), and the resulting noise (rivaling that of a Radeon R9 290X reference), by innovating a new all-in-one liquid cooling solution. Found on the company's G-Master Hydro series gaming desktops, these modified GTX TITAN X cards look reference, except a cut-out on its top, through which coolant tubes pass through.

The loop itself appears to be basic Asetek fare, with a round pump-block cooling the GPU, with its heat being dissipated by a 120 mm x 120 mm radiator. The memory and VRM is cooled by a base-plate that's ventilated by the NVTTM (NVIDIA time-to-market) reference cooler's main blower. Given that the GPU will run cool, we imagine that the blower will not be as noisy. NVIDIA restricts its add-in card partners from coming up with custom-design cards, but this mod appears to be by an OEM, and these cards won't be sold in the retail channel. It could fall into the same gray area that allows EVGA to sell its HydroCopper variants.
