Conclusion

Integrating a liquid cooling system to the GPU is already available for sometime. It involves meddling with nuts and bolts, removing GPU heatsinks and makes it a chore for the unexperienced users.

ASUS EN8800GTX AquaTank solved this puzzle by bundling it as a package. Users need not worry about how the cable runs and what they need to do is to fit them into the casing and power it up. It is as simple as ABC.

As we can see from the benchmarks, the results are impressive, probably due to factory overclocked. The difference can be quite substantial in some benchmarks. Due to liquid cooling, it can easily clock the core at speeds higher than what the normal air cooling can do. We have seen that the results are beyond the 11% as stated by ASUS in one of the tests.

The GPU temperatures are pretty cool, even with heavy load, it hardly reach the 70 deg level at all. This is truely impressive!

The package also comes with the necessity and ASUS threw in two games. On top of that, there are the component cables for video out. The bundled ASUS software extends the basic function of the graphics card, turning it into a security survelliance machine or game recording machine.

Overall, the ASUS EN8800GTX AquaTank/HTDP/768M is somewhat nice to own. The products generates very minimum noise, thus making it suitable for gaming, hdtv etc. Install it, set it and there you have  a liquid cooled GPU solution right out of the box.
