GIGABYTE Announces AORUS XTREME GeForce RTX 30 Series WATERFORCE Graphics Card

GIGABYTE, the world's leading premium gaming hardware manufacturer, today announced the latest GeForce RTX 30 Series WATERFORCE graphics cards powered by NVIDIA Ampere architecture—AORUS GeForce RTX 3090 XTREME WATERFORCE WB 24G, AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 XTREME WATERFORCE WB 10G, AORUS GeForce RTX 3090 XTREME WATERFORCE 24G, and AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 XTREME WATERFORCE 10G. AORUS is the world's first manufacturer to include the patent-pending "Leak detection" in the WATERFORCE WB open-loop graphics cards. The built-in leak detection circuit covers the entire fitting and water block and can promptly alert users by flashing light at the first sign of leak, so users can deal with the leakage early and prevent any further damage to the system.

AORUS WATERFORCE WB is ideal for those who wish to build open-loop liquid cooling systems. GIGABYTE specializes in thermal cooling solutions, providing optimal channel spacing between the micro fins for enhanced heat transfer from the GPU via stable water flows. The sunk-designed copper micro fins also shorten the heat conduction path from the GPU, so that the heat can be transferred to the water channel area quickly. Moreover, the cover and backplate of the new-gen WATERFORCE WB feature customizable RGB lighting as users can create their own PC styles and bring creativity into the liquid cooling systems.
AORUS GeForce RTX 3090/3080 XTREME WATERFORCE, featuring AIO coolers, are a great entry point for users looking for best-of-class performance and quiet gaming experience from a liquid-cooled graphics card. The cards are easy to use and maintenance-free. The large copper plate directly touches the GPU, VRAM and other critical parts. Coupled with heat pipes, the heat can be transferred to the liquid cooling zone for achieving enhanced heat dissipation. Compared to the 120 mm size, the optimal 240 mm aluminium radiator doubles the surface area and volume for enhanced thermal efficiency, and 2x120mm double ball bearing fans make the graphics card more stable and cool under high overclocks. Both the front cover and the back plate of the new-gen WATERFORCE cards feature customizable RGB illumination, and the ARGB fans can be adjusted according to users' preference through RGB FUSION 2.0 software. In addition, the sturdy FEP tube minimizes loss of water and has high thermal stability as well as high pressure tolerance to greatly enhance product life and durability.

The above 4 variants all come with 6 outputs (3xHDMI, 3xDP), RGB FUSION 2.0 software support, protection metal back plate, dust-proof and moisture-proof aerospace-grade PCB coating, Ultra-Durable top-grade materials and registered AORUS members extended warranty.

Maybe that's for the better, I don't even want to know the price.

You may know the price but it won't be the actually purchase price that's for sure.

What is the use of the "Leak Detection"? I never disassembled a block that came pre-mounted on a card... and if it leaks without me opening and closing it again, it's a warranty claim?

That’s what I’m wondering as well. I’d like to be able to take it apart to clean it. The picture appears to show the “leak detection circuit” as a single piece of metal running along the outside of the o-rings. I’d imagine it’s just a matter of disconnecting it from whatever gives a leak signal.

It decreases warranty costs for them, and puts the onus back on the end user for any damage other than the GPU a leak may cause.
They're not doing this because they care.

But water damage has always been on end user side for custom loops, unlike a aio leaking.
