PowerColor Shows Off its Devil Hybrid Cooling Solution

btarunr · Jun 4, 2015

PowerColor showed off its latest custom graphics card cooling solution, the Devil Hybrid. This particular sample was shown off on a Radeon R9 290X-based prototype, which will likely never make it to the market, because AMD AIB partners cannot unveil "Fiji" based parts just yet; but is expected to feature on AMD's upcoming graphics cards. The Devil Hybrid is a combination of an AIO liquid-based GPU block, and a conventional temperature-activated single fan heatsink for the VRM. The GPU block is plumbed to a 120 mm radiator, with a PWM spinner included. Given that such a setup could tame the R9 295X2, it could prove adequate for a single GPU.

If this cooler comes installed on the R9-390 series of cards and those are energy efficient then I wouldn't mind upgrading the R9-290s that I have installed in my office PC.

According to tweaktown, this is the R9 390X.

No, it's not.

I think you mean R9 390-X.

No, I meant two-hundred-and-ninety-eks. AIBs are not allowed to show anything Fiji-based this Computex, but Powercolor still wanted to show their new cooler, so they strapped it to a 290X PCB. It's TUL's common Hawaii PCB shared by Powercolor, VTX3D and Club3D cards.

Look at the PCB number of the photo ... clearly 290X. Also the 4G / 8G checkbox ... Fiji has no 8 GB variant, and you wouldn't mark it on the PCB because of HBM chips being on the GPU package

That's interesting to see a 4G and 8G check box. Do any of the R9 290X PCB have this? I don't remember my Sapphire VAPOR-X R9 290X 8GB with this check. Or is this exclusively with Power Color PCB's?

Or maybe Grenada? haha

I like how the shroud looks to be 1 solid piece.

Unlike nzxt's gpu kit.

Who says the 390X is Fiji...

I like the look of it. It's got a vicious look and looks better than many aio systems on gpus.
