Within a week or three NVIDIA will roll out its new GT200 based graphics cards but BFG just released a new high-end graphics card based on the GeForce 9800 GTX. The firm's new GeForce 9800 GTX H2OC 512MB is overclocked and features a ThermoIntelligence custom copper waterblock codevelopes by BFG and DangerDen.
“With the addition of our custom high-performance water block, we’ve been able to safely overclock the 9800 GTX to an unprecedented 780MHz on the core clock, and 1944MHz on the shader clock ”, said John Malley, senior director of marketing for BFG Technologies. “Each card is hand-built by a trained BFG technician using Arctic Silver® thermal compound, and is exceptionally cool and totally silent—delivering up to a 28°C lower GPU operating temperature than reference cooling solutions.”

The pre-attached ThermoIntelligence copper water block replaces the standard double slot 9800 GTX cooling solution for those who currently own or are purchasing a PC water cooling system. Each card includes 1/2” and 3/8” fittings (barbs) allowing for seamless integration into most water cooling system loops. Micro fittings are also included to support 2-way or 3-way NVIDIA SLI™ configurations.
