Corsair Releases Hydro Series HG10 GPU Liquid Cooling Bracket
Corsair, a worldwide leader in high-performance PC hardware, today announced the immediate availability of the Hydro Series HG10 A1 Edition GPU liquid cooling bracket for AMD Radeon R9 290X and 290 graphics cards. Both a bracket and a heatsink, the HG10 allows the users to attach a Corsair Hydro Series liquid cooler to their graphics card to cool the GPU and other critical circuitry, unlocking a new level of performance and cooling for their GPU.
The black anodized aluminium HG10 bracket combined with a Corsair liquid cooler is a full-coverage GPU liquid cooling solution which cools the graphics card's GPU as well as the heat-producing voltage regulator module (VRM) and video memory. The HG10 utilizes the graphics card's original cooling fan, ensuring improved compatibility with the card's fan speed and temperature monitoring features.
Paired with any Corsair Hydro series liquid cooler, the HG10 is able to easily dissipate large amounts of heat from the graphics card, dropping peak temperatures by as much as 50 degrees Celsius and at significantly lower noise levels. The extra cooling on offer can open up substantial overclocking headroom, allowing enthusiasts to extract every bit of performance from their card. In addition, the improved cooling largely eliminates the graphics card's thermal throttling of performance, resulting in a card that not only runs quieter and cooler, but faster as well.
The Hydro Series HG10 A1 Edition GPU liquid cooling bracket is designed to support all stock reference versions of AMD Radeon R9 290X and 290X graphics cards. A full list of compatible cards can be found at corsair.com. New HG10 editions compatible with NVIDIA GeForce Titan, 7 Series, and other GPUs will be available in early 2015.
Pricing, Availability, and Warranty
The HG10 A1 Edition is priced at $39.99.

I wonder if AIO liquid coolers for GPU's will become a thing..
was it jan or april they 1st had these on show?
dude my 290x is cooled by a h2o 920 ;)
Even the low profile segment will be fun to try. Like Sapphire 7750 for example. I think it has the current standard 53mm distance and it hits 80 degrees as soon as you fire up Starcraft2. Only thing is, make that 120mm hole in that Dell Optiplex ;). I'd give a shot to such a product as long as it's about 35 euro. It seems doable. Corsair had H40, it was like what? 40 bucks? It only needed a bracket and you are good to go.
Like other's there's a time and place for what’s a "Red Mod", but I'm not sure about this. The problem with any of these coolers is VRM’s and other tidbits aren't sufficiently cooled. While they have such component covered with thermal tape and their hope is that the flat aluminum stamping promotes enough surface for air flow, from now the stock blower fan running much slower as the chip is running so much cooler. IDK? The main VRM block is appears isolated from what might most of the blower fans best air flow. While I might go as far to say that such cooling air is in a a dead spot devoid of adequate air flow and pressure. Then those little VRM2 (I believe their designated as) that sit at the opposite end of the fan by the PCI bracket, they probably get little to no air flow as the water block/pump… well block the air flow, but tha might be improvement over stock as they gott the full blast of hot air exiting.
Then Corsair is always promoting this kit with that double radiator which is overkill. Then as they use most existing AIO solutions (like theirs depict) it means the tubes entry and exit are in an odd... "right in the middle of everything" routing.
I suppose I'll wait and see some reviews and helpfully some with thermal imaging of the board, but I don't hold much hope. While elegant in appearance I might say the Kracken G10 modified with the GELID Solutions Heatsink kit has shown great aptitude (though a little pricey for both) still has a better bet.
Without so hard hitting reviews to prove differently, I don’t see these being much.
