GALAX today introduced its top air-cooled custom-design graphics card powered by the GeForce RTX 4080 "Ada," the RTX 4080 HOF (Hall of Fame). The all-white card is not just a 4-slot, monstrosity, but also has an extremely tall cooler, including some aesthetic bits that extend beyond the regular height of the cooler. These bits are detachable, although the idea behind them is that the card will be installed vertically—either on a test bench, or a vertical slot.

There are three variants of this card. The RTX 4080 HOF OC Lab Plus-X is the top-dog with 2640 MHz boost frequency out of the box (compared to 2505 MHz reference), and the HOF Panel III accessory (an LCD display panel that puts out real-time monitoring stats of the card). The second variant is the RTX 4080 HOF OC Lab Plus, which is essentially the Plus-X, without the HOF Panel III. The RTX 4080 HOF OC Lab is the "lite" variant among the three, with a 2595 MHz boost frequency, and no HOF Panel III. What's important is that all three variants come with a delicious power-limit. With their "Performance" BIOS enabled, the cards have a 400 W power-limit, with a slider limit (manually tunable) of 470 W. With the "Silent" BIOS, this limit drops all the way down to the NVIDIA-reference 320 W. All three cards come with a single 16-pin 12VHPWR rated for 600 W input.

GALAX today rolled out its flagship custom-design GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card, the OC Lab RTX 3080 Ti Hall of Fame. This card has been designed by GALAX's OC Lab initiative that takes design inputs from popular overclockers. As an HOF product, the card features a mostly-white product aesthetic, which includes a white PCB, cooler shroud, and back-plate. Under the hood, the card features an over-the-top VRM solution that lets you tune the GPU at its electrical limits. The cooling solution features a large dual aluminium fin-stack heatsink that's ventilated by a trio of fans. A secondary heatsink pulls heat from the memory and VRM components. GALAX did not put out factory OC values, but we expect them to be in the league of the other flagships—around 1830 MHz boost.

GALAX has announced availability of their OC Lab Edition GPU Pot, a non-plant-based solution for users to cool their graphics cards with. The OC Lab Edition GPU Pot is fully made of 99.9% purity copper, which allows it to withstand up to -196 ºC. Not many more details are available for now, except pricing, and it's something to definitely not smile about: the OC Lab Edition GPU Pot will cost users $229.99.

GALAX, however, being a customer-friendly brand, are suggesting users put down an order for three of these OC Lab Edition GPU Pot alongside three of their own Galax HOF OC Lab WC cards, which go for $1,799... netting you a $600 discount on the pots. So, yeah. There's that. If you want it.

TeamAU with GIGABYTE OC Lab successfully overclocked an Intel Core i7-7740K "Kaby Lake-X" quad-core processor to 7.50 GHz. Only 2 out of its 4 cores were enabled for the feat. A Gigabyte X299 SOC Champion was used for this feat, and liquid helium was used to keep the CPU cool. The overclockers dialed kept the base-clock constant at 100 MHz, while dialing up its multiplier to 75.0x, yielding 7.50 GHz. Its core-voltage was kept at 1.096V.

At Computex 2017, Galaxy showcased two of its most premium graphics cards based on NVIDIA's GTX 1080 Ti chip. The GTX 1080 Ti OC Lab Edition features a Hall of Fame branded waterblock of appealing design, even if the colored power cables on the left of the unit do break the pleasing color scheme. The card features 3x 8-pin power connectors, for those of you who like to run wild with your overclocks. From the box, this card features a base 1569 MHz clock and a 1683 MHz Boost.

The second graphics card showcased by the company is the GTX 1080 Ti HOF Limited Edition, which makes use of the same 3x 8-pin power connectors, but sheds the waterblock for a triple-fan cooling solution. Strangely, this card features higher out-of-the-box clocks than the waterblock-equipped version, at 1645 MHz base and 1759 MHz boost. There is a LUMIN X branding on the cooler shroud, which indicates the usage of Galaxy's lighting system. It also features an LCD screen for graphics card status information, like operating temperature and current clocks and voltages.
