Zotac introduced the watercooled GeForce GTX 580 Infinity Edition as well as the Omni for gamers that want to add watercooling to their current card.
ZOTAC® International, a leading innovator and the world’s largest channel manufacturer of graphics cards, motherboards and mini-PCs, today unveils two new water-cooling solutions – the GeForce® GTX 580 Infinity Edition and ZOTAC® Omni for gamers that demand a water-cooled graphics card or want to upgrade their existing graphics card with water-cooling.

“As graphics processors become more powerful, greater cooling performance is a necessity which typically results in greater noise levels. To combat the heat and noise levels, water-cooling is an excellent solution,” said Carsten Berger, marketing director. “By equipping the ZOTAC® GeForce® GTX 580 Infinity Edition with a water-cooler, we were able to reduce temperatures by over 25-percent and produce lower noise levels.”

Gamers with existing ZOTAC® GeForce® GTX 580, GTX 570 and GTX 480 graphics card can opt for the ZOTAC® Omni water-cooling upgrade kit. The ZOTAC® Omni kit includes the self-contained water-cooling solution and everything a gamer needs to water-cool reference-design GeForce® GTX 580, 570 and 480 graphics cards.
