BFG NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX H2OC 512MB

This world is moving faster with each day, and when talking about computers, higher clock speeds require better cooling. One of these days, I was talking with a friend of mine about its next upgrade - he's going to get an Intel E8400 CPU, and intends to push it somewhere past 4GHz, on water cooling. We didn't talk about the video card he should use yet, especially since he doesn't have much time left for games, but I am sure the BFG 9800 GTX w/ ThermoIntelligence Copper water block would be a great choice for him, and maybe even for some of you, as we're going to see right away...

As you can see in the image above, this card looks great, and it won't take up too much space inside your case, either. The water block on the BFG NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX H2OC 512MB graphics card is a custom one co-developed by BFG and Danger Den, and you can bet they overclocked it to the highest stable level, but you can always try to go higher, of course!

"With the addition of our custom high-performance water block, we’ve been able to safely overclock the 9800 GTX to an unprecedented 780MHz on the core clock, and 1944MHz on the shader clock. Each card is hand-built by a trained BFG technician using Arctic Silver® thermal compound, and is exceptionally cool and totally silent—delivering up to a 28°C lower GPU operating temperature than reference cooling solutions," said John Malley, senior director of marketing for BFG Technologies.

Since I am sure you were wondering about it, here you have the frequencies:
- Core Clock: 780MHz (vs. 675MHz standard)
- Shader Clock: 1944MHz (vs. 1688MHz standard)
- Memory Data Rate: 2320MHz (vs. 2200MHz standard)

Unfortunately, the BFG NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX H2OC 512MB graphics card is available only in limited quantities at leading online retail outlets throughout North America and Europe, so you shouldn't think to much about it - grab it or miss it!
