Colorful Giving GeForce GTX 680 iGame Kudan Treatment
Remember the Colorful GTX 560 Ti iGame Kudan and how it made our readers scream "overkill"? What happens when you combine an over-the-top design, the Colorful iGame Kudan, with an equally over-the-top GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680? You get the Colorful GTX 680 iGame Kudan, the pinnacle of air-cooling for the GeForce GTX 680.
The iGame Kudan's design methodology revolves around giving users an extremely tweakable and modular cooling solution, which can not only be modified by playing with its heatsinks, but also be re-painted to suit your style. Colorful included a pastel-set the last time around. Under the hood, the card is packed by a modular VRM. The main PCB has an 8-phase digital VRM, which can be augmented by an additional 4-phase circuit on a daughterboard, which gets attached on a modified SO-DIMM slot, which goes parallel to the plane of the PCB, on its rear. The card is said to have high out of the box clock speeds, with an even higher overclocking headroom. Colorful sells in Asia and Europe.

Im a gamer not an artist.Im too high and malnourished to be focusing on such things.
Presumeably thats why the locks are on the outside of your door.
And i wish i was living with my parents, that will save me A LOT of money everyday...
Unless you get your hand's on a custom BIOS from a mfg or you hack & mod your own ;)
Still posting from my phone :o
;)
IIRC W1zz said in his 680 review that the DOC allow's for a maximum 549Mhz "clock offset" but not sure exactly how it all work's as yet :o It's quite confusing as even when you manually set a clock speed the DOC override's it and set's what IT feel's is ideal at that given time, see W1zz's manul OC result's here www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_680/31.html
We need the few TPUer's that have 680's to start posting up some OC result's so we can see for ourselve's what these card's are capable of ;) All i care about is W1zz's review's and end user account's, and even then i don't trust all end user's because many of them are blind fanboiis so you need to take them with a grain of salt. Unless you find someone who is unbiased either way :respect:
IMO This "generation" is too close to call one way or the other (a few % here or there is hardly a "win" in my book's) and @ $500+ a card they can all stay on the shelves. Give me this kind of performance @ $300 - $350 and they'll have a customer again :cool:
It should come as an addon kit like all the others with this gfx card. So you could attach it to the card. Imagine, a GTX 680 with a golden cock attached to it XD
