Japanese OEM Tosses Out GTX TITAN X Heatsink for AIO Liquid Cooler

btarunr · Mar 30, 2015

Japanese OEM gaming PC builder Sycom addressed the biggest shortcoming of reference NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X - heat (which runs into a thermal throttle too often), and the resulting noise (rivaling that of a Radeon R9 290X reference), by innovating a new all-in-one liquid cooling solution. Found on the company's G-Master Hydro series gaming desktops, these modified GTX TITAN X cards look reference, except a cut-out on its top, through which coolant tubes pass through.

The loop itself appears to be basic Asetek fare, with a round pump-block cooling the GPU, with its heat being dissipated by a 120 mm x 120 mm radiator. The memory and VRM is cooled by a base-plate that's ventilated by the NVTTM (NVIDIA time-to-market) reference cooler's main blower. Given that the GPU will run cool, we imagine that the blower will not be as noisy. NVIDIA restricts its add-in card partners from coming up with custom-design cards, but this mod appears to be by an OEM, and these cards won't be sold in the retail channel. It could fall into the same gray area that allows EVGA to sell its HydroCopper variants.

Have fun mounting a 4-way SLI bridge...

If you've got the cash for 4 of these, may as well go custom water or hydrocopper custom loop instead.

But your point is valid, silly placement of the tubing.

so if you want to make it by yourself make sure you have the tube out from the middle

That skin tone fan. Totally Noctua inspired. And totally hated by me. What's wrong with BLACK that fits everywhere unlike this gross color!?

I'd be much more concerned about finding a case with space for 4 separate 120mm radiators and tubing before I worried about the SLI bridge.

Cuz it is a Noctua Fan, it's not inspired by Noctua.

And these Noctua Color discussions are getting old. Noctua changing Color is like Ferrari painting their Cars Pink instead.

You seem to be one of those people that prefer looks over performance: to each his own, i guess.

To me, as long as it does what it's supposed to and it performs well, it's good enough. I don't give a rat's ass if it's color combines or not with the rest of the gear.

This on the other hand is a different story. I suppose as long as it's for a single card system it's OK: not so much for multi card configs.

I guess they didn't want to look like the R9 - 295X2 with the tubes coming out the centre

bogami · Mar 30, 2015

some fast accommodated together is visible that they made a serious error in pipes blocking the SLI bridge. Fen is great but ugly and could be selected another.But I have no money for this card .Card TITAN-X is good at the moment. bought would block of course

Until I raised money will certainly be able to have bought at least 2x AMD R-390X . :toast:

TBH, half the reason I went with my Phanteks coolor over Noctua was the coloration.

I think I am with @the154thvoid on this one being that trying to have 4 of these in a system might be a bit odd as it is and probably be better for a custom water loop at that point. That and finding spots for every radiator without using Duct Tape to hold them in place in the case might be a bit of a challenge.

Though it does beg the question why they that that tubing spot was acceptable, I mean it makes it even a bit difficult just for basic SLI (Not impossible just a bit more difficult). I think they are intending this to be for a serious quiet single GPU solution or dual at most with heavy clocking being a viable option without the noise. Still though, they should think about things like that from the beginning instead of making them restrictive as it limits your customer base and ideas people can do with the cards.

Maybe move this to the Ghetto Mods section.

It sure looks like one.

The Industrial range, that cost a lot more.

Of course it does. Black paint is much more expensive. I don't even know if it needs painted..... The only actual argument is supply economics. If Noctua only produce 5% 'industrial' effect range, scales of economy make them more expensive to produce.

EDIT: just read the page - they are actually for industrial usage. Tesla/Firepro to Nvidia/AMD equivalent then....

Actually those gray redux series are cheapest ones(Technology is the same as brown ones, packaging differs a bit to brown and the price is thus lower). Black industrial fans are those most expensive ones...

The Redux Fans don't offer the same Performance as the Premium Fans, as they are based on the old Designs.

The Industrial Fans are well, Industrial. Noisy, Expensive and Extremely Durable.

I 100% agree. Noctua needs a new color besides poop.

Paint? Pretty sure they are made of pre-colored injection molded plastics. No paint involved.

RejZoR · Mar 30, 2015

No, I don't prefer looks over performance, but I sure in hell won't use those butt ugly fans. Have you ever seen Noiseblocker Multi-Frame fans? Noiseblocker Pro fans? They look great and they perform great as well. Why do they have to perform well and look ugly as hell?

zo0lykas · Mar 31, 2015

lol ?
how the fck pipes are blocking for you SLI bridge let me ask, I think guys you created this hybrid more cleaver than you, if you going dual gpu, one rad, mouth at botton case, in middle, second one rad going at back, next to cpu, and you can easy mouth your bridge.
