Extreme Cooling Performance
The ASUS EAH2900XT AquaTank comes equipped with thicker water pipes to carry away more heat; and a larger water tank that contains more coolant. The unique heat sink module design also dissipates heat efficiently – providing lower temperatures for better performance. Additionally, the air flow design automatically brings flow-in cold air which cools the GPU & RAM. Compared with reference design boards, the EAH2900XT AquaTank is able to lower the GPU temperature by an outstanding 10°C to provide users with the best gaming experience.
User-Friendly Hardware Design
Besides having an impressive cooling performance, theEAH2900XT AquaTank also adopts a user-friendly design to provide convenience and flexibility to the user. Compared with other DIY upgrade kits, users can easily utilize the EAH2900XT Aquatank's simple two-step installation with the all-in-one module design. Furthermore, the Water Flow Alarm alerts the user when coolant stops flowing and the water level on the tank itself gives users a gauge as to when a refill is needed. Additionally, coolant refills can be easily accomplished by simply unscrewing the button on the water tank side; and the enhanced pipe connector design ensures that there is no danger of coolant leakage.
The card is clocked at 740MHz with 1.65GHz 512MB DDR3 memory.
