Gainward Intros the GeForce GTX 1060 IceSoul 6GB Liquid Cooled Graphics Card
Gainward introduced the GeForce GTX 1060 IceSoul graphics card, prepped out of the box for DIY liquid-cooling, with a factory-fitted full-coverage water block. This nickel-plated copper block with its clear acrylic top features LED mounts. The block is mated to a custom-design PCB that draws power from a combination of 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe power connectors, and employs a strong 8-phase VRM to drive out of the box clocks of 1620 MHz core, and 1847 MHz GPU Boost (vs. 1506/1709 MHz reference), with an untouched 8.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. This is the 6 GB variant of the GTX 1060, with 1,280 CUDA cores. The card features dual-BIOS, with a push-type toggle at the rear I/O. Outputs include three DisplayPort 1.4, and one each of HDMI 2.0b and DVI. Launched in the mainland Chinese market, the card is priced at RMB ¥2,399.

A custom, air cooled 1060 is nearly silent and undoubtedly cheaper. Why?
Not my cup of tea.
That could really turn into a power house for something like extreme overclocking.
Looks like Palit group is trying to get something in their market to match the likes of EVGA and ASUS offerings.
Will be nice to see just how far some extreme over clocker can take it
People will buy these for the same reason they buy $50 baseball caps
So, why not?
I literally came here to post "Why?" after just reading the title. :D
you know for >>....................later:D:roll:
That's some brilliant design there...
One of the biggest advantages of LC is that we get rid of huge ass coolers and the whole card could be smaller that way. Yet we're stuck with PCBs higher and longer then normal even for GPUs like GTX 1060, or 1050ti. Where's the logic here?
That should be a rocket :pimp:
Seriously, I do want to see just how far this thing can be taken.
Someone out there should be able to score extremely well with it.
