Aqua Computer closes the week with the introduction of a waterblock for the new GeForce GTX Titan X video card.
German-based liquid cooling specialist Aqua Computer offers its kryographics Pascal for Nvidia TITAN X as of now.
Like the block for the GTX 1080/1070 card, the TITAN X variant also features a jet plate above the GPU area to provide an outstanding cooling performance. A bypass channel after the GPU helps to reduce the flow resistance and allows water to flow directly above most hotspots on the graphics card.
The kryographics Pascal for Nvidia TITAN X is completely CNC machined in Aqua Computers own production facilities in Germany. The base is made of electrolytic copper with a thickness of 10mm. A precise manufacturing allows using thermal grease not only for the GPU but also for the RAM. This ensures the best possible connection between the graphics card and cooler. For the voltage regulators a thermal pad is included in the scope of supply.
Preinstalled nickel plated spacers allow for an easy and secure installation. All relevant contact surfaces are polished to gain a perfect heat transfer. The connection terminal is made of Delrin, uses common G1/4 threads that point into both directions and can be replaced with kryoconnect adapter kits to connect blocks directly with each other for SLI setups.
In about two weeks the kryographics Pascal for Nvidia TITAN X will be also available in a nickel plated variant. The acrylic glass cover is available in a clear and smoked version.
Aqua Computer is also working on a backplate that will be available in about two to three weeks. Besides a passive variant there will be also an active variant with a heatpipe that makes direct contact to the cooling fluid. The backplate will offer an increased contact pressure in the area of the voltage regulators and the GPU to optimize the cooling performance to the maximum.
The price of the kryographics Pascal for Nvidia TITAN X copper versions is 99.90 Euro while the nickel plated versions can be purchased for 114.90 Euro. The passive backplate will be available for 24.90 Euro and the active variant for 39.90 Euro.
