Introduction
Liquid cooling systems become more and more popular. Gradually, there is no independent assembly of such systems, and modern integrated models have won in efficiency the best air coolers. One of the unspoken leaders in the market of liquid cooling is the Slovenian company EK Water Blocks, which produces both separate components and kits for self-assembly,

 as well as expensive high-end integrated SZHS. Almost always, they use pure copper, which, among other things, provokes high cost for EKWB products. But the company decided to compete. For this purpose, a new brand was created - EK Fluid Gaming. Let’s see the main features of the reviewing device.

The Gainward Co. has manufactured GeForce GTX 1060 IceSoul, which is a 316 mm long video card with a water block. Needless to say, that this adapter is constructed to be utilized with a liquid cooling system.



The new product by Gainward is obviously meant for overclock fans, regarding the presence of two auxiliary power connectors (8+6). The eight-phase power subsystem and a large-size printed-circuit board allows to locate components wide apart.


Speaking about frequencies, we ought to mention, that the GPU operates at the 1,621/1,847 MHz, and the 6 GB memory – at the 8,000 MHz frequency. Thus, this graphics card has not been affected yet by the memory frequency rise, initialized by Nvidia.

Sapphire Technology Ltd. is going to release a new graphics card on Tahiti LE chip. Codenamed Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition Toxic, the card is one of the first models to use the newest GPU, developed under 28 nm technological process. The suffix 'GHz Edition' in the model's name witnesses that the nominal GPU clock frequency exceeds the index of 1 GHz.



The core of Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition Toxic is based on Graphics Core Next architecture and contains 1536 current processors. The card's inventory involves 2GB of GDDR5 memory with 256-bit bus interface. The memory modules are known to operate at 6000 MHz frequency. GPU operational frequencies are still not clarified, but it's possible to assume that on activation of AMD PowerTune option the card will demonstrate some outstanding performance. In fact, analysts dare saying that this model is the most efficient one among all other solutions based on Tahiti LE chip.


Optimal thermal regime and airflow activity are …
