GIGABYTE Intros World's Most Powerful VGA Cooling Systems at COMPUTEX 2014
GIGABYTE, the leading manufacturer of graphics cards unveils the industry-leading graphics card cooling system during the COMPUTEX 2014. Whatever the preference of air-cooling or liquid-cooling, gamers can find the most outstanding VGA cooling system designs this year! Continuation of the stunning performance of WINDFORCE 450W cooling system, GIGABYTE once again self-breaks and launches the WINDFORCE Air Cooling System 600 Watt Edition. It is not only equipped with the patented "Triangle Cooling" technology, GIGABYTE also re-designs the fans and the fins of the cooling system and using the high-performance composite cooper heat pipes for new WINDFORCE. The heat dissipation performance is enhanced up to 33% than the reference card. GIGABYTE can proudly announce that WINDFORCE 600 Watt is the best air cooling system for graphics card in the world!
Even more, GIGABYTE introduces WATERFORCE All-in-one External Liquid Cooling System with 3 GeForce GTX 780 Ti, specially designed for the gamers who dream about a silent and super gaming PC. With intuitive control panel, WATERFORCE allows gamers to separately control the GPU temperature, fans speed and pumps speed. No more noise nightmare or harass of uneven temperatures while using multi graphics cards. With the world's first 3 way SLI water cooling solution, WATERFORCE, gamers can easily enjoy every moment and victory during the games.The best air-cooling system ever - WINDFORCE 600WGIGABYTE understands that a fan is crucial to the graphics card, so only the fan with the most efficiency is selected for WINDFORCE. Therefore, GIGABYTE constantly evolving the WINDFORCE to provide the latest and the best cooling solution to gamers. The latest WINDFORCE 600W with excusive cooling technology can signifcantly disspate up to 600W heat.
Patented "Triangle Cool" technology enhances 35% cooling performanceFeatures with the patented "Triangle Cool" technology, WINDFORCE 600W can bring away the heat easily from GPU. The cooling performance is 35% better than the regular fin designs.
Unique fan design increases 23% CFMThe whole new fan design with special 3D stripe curve can split the air flow, reduce the calm zone and increase the cooling performance. The air flow is amazingly increased up to 23%!
Special fin architecture augments 45% heat dissipation areaGIGABYTE also designs WINDFORCE 600W with a special fin architecture. The height differentiation design increases more than 45% heat dissipation area for better cooling capacity and significantly reduce the air resistance.
Composite heat-pipes increases 29% cooling capacityThe cooling system is supplemented by the composite heat-pipes, a heat-transfer device combines both thermal conductivity and phase transition for efficiently managing the transfer of heat between two solid interfaces which increases 29% of cooling capacity.
With only 2-slot height heat sink, the compact WINDFORCE 600W increases more than 33% thermal performance. It is not only the most powerful air-cooling system, but the best choice for a ultimate gaming experience.
All-in-one external liquid cooling system - WATERFORCEWATERFORCE is specially designed for the gamers who dream about a silent and powerful super PC. With the exclusive 3-way SLI closed loop liquid cooling system, it can dissipate the heat of GPU, memory and MOSFET. The WATERFORCE intuitive control panel can let gamers to check the performance of the 3 graphics cards from the panel and separately adjust the temperature, fan speed and pump speed for uniform temperature of the cards.
42.9% lower temperature and 13.1dB lower noise than reference coolerComparing with 3-way SLI reference cooler, the cooling solution by WATERFORCE presents 42.9% lower temperature and 13.1 dB lower noises!
No more noise nightmare or harass of uneven temperatures while using multi graphics cards. No more try & error liquid cooling system DIY. With the world's 1st 3 way SLI water cooling solution, WATERFORCE, gamers can easily install and enjoy the battles.

28 Comments on GIGABYTE Intros World's Most Powerful VGA Cooling Systems at COMPUTEX 2014
or a card that looks like this
I'm pretty sure the ASUS/TwinFrozr or any other card would get chosen in a windowed build 9 times out of 10 over the Windforce, even if the cooler on the Gigabyte is technically superior. The Gigabyte just looks cheaper built than the others based on the cooler's looks alone. But hey, maybe it's just my opinion...I'm just surprised nobody else notices.
If you look at any decent air cooler you will know what I'm talking about -- all nickel-plated/coat-painted coolers look good in a gaming PC -- ones with showing copper pipes in the middle do not. The looks are also why Phanteks and their paint-coated dual-tower coolers, which are technically inferior, sell for more money than say, a NH-D14. It is also why I bought a Silver Arrow SB-E and persevered with it (which is a HUGE pain in the ass to mount compared to the Noctua) over buying an NH-D14.
Things to take into consideration when buying components:
1: Overall performance
2: Cost
3: Warranty claim procedure/satisfaction
........
129: Does the graphics card have a copper pipe which may, or may not, ruin the overall atmosphere of someone's idea of colour coordination if viewed at a particular angle

I still find it impressive that Gigabyte can bring out a cooler so good and still without impeding the height of the card (except for the little tab that says Windforce). Especially impressive considering most other designs from other AIBs take advantage of the extra height and/or going into 3 slots.
:toast:
THE WF the fans look cheap but overall the ASUS looks like a toy compared tot he WF cooler which all so looks like it has bigger motors in them unless that just the pics..
Really sad part is that GB will not sell the cooler without the card HEHEHE..
O yeah the ASUS one has tyhe pipes were they would get the least cooling sorry but screw that. Exposed is the way to go if you want extra cooling.
