The Largest GPU Cooler Ever Seen on an AMD Radeon HD 7970

[Tha Last Meal]

We didn't find that the AMD Radeon HD 7970 ran that hot when we reviewed it, but it appears that Yeston is releasing a custom cooling solution that looks to be large enough to cool any video card on the market today. The cooler looks like it is using two massive 120mm cooling fans that use 18 blades each. Under the fans you'll find a copper base with six copper heatpipes going to a large stack of aluminum cooling fins that go nearly the length of the PCB. The GPU cooler is so massive it looks like it takes up at least 3 PCI slots!

he 12cm fan is a dual fan convection design, the wind increased 70% effective to prevent the loss of air flow, twice the pressure fan in general, beyond the scope of romantic imagination, quickly and effectively take away the heat, the use of 12cm another benefit is that level of fan: low number of revolutions can bring the amount of wind noise than 7cm or 9cm fan is much lower. The left side PWM fan is temperature regulation, cooling for the GPU and the surrounding, and the right fan is a constant speed, can take away some of the heat supply. Yeston also said gamers HD7900 series graphics cards coming soon, this radiator will then make a final adjustment to face the majority of the players look forward to, interested players may wish to sustained attention.

very ugly

[madcho]

ugly but it's not what we ask ...

if oc is good why not !!!.

The good other thing, is there is two dvi unlike standart 7970 !!!! this is nice.

the bad thing, how much and how long for that ? And if we can get some in europan union.

[paulbagz]

I'll take a H20 setup instead =/

-PB

[kuroikenshi]

I'll second that,

by looking at the fin design my bets are that they've gone for size over cooling efficiency

[3lfk1ng]

That's not 3 slots. That has got to be a 4-slotter.

[Kristoferr]

4 slotter for sure. Plus it has 4 or even 5 mini DP +2xDVI.

[n00b 0f l337]

And not even a back vent slot.

I've seen bigger

@Kristoferr
Well, the card they are using does. The company is only using that card to show off their custom cooling solution. It's an aftermarket solution for those that don't think that the well received reference cooler is doing its job.

[Andi64]

I've seen bigger

Is that what she said?

Lol jk

[Sentential]

No forced rear exhaust = no go

[Evantaur]

if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing

[CrazyNutz]

Pft... That's not a GPU cooler, It's a hovercraft mod for your PC case There's also an app that allows you to control it from your Iphone

Sry MSI your twin frozr just got blown away!!!

[THX1138]

That's just plain stupid

[defect9]

next week, the dual 180mm San Ace version comes out.

[Andrew LB]

I think you'd be better off just putting a heatsink on the thing and point this into an open case. I use that fan in my garage. 3,400cfm.

[Chrono Detector]

Why make the heatsink and fan so large? Better off going watercooling, and not to mention it looks ugly as well.

[gallag]

Could be a sound investment, by the time you are replacing it, it could be worth more than you paid with the way scrap metal is going up.

[matose]

No no, I think THIS is the largest cooler ever seen on an AMD Radeon HD 7970

[Manicdan]

if your going to use a 120mm fan, might aswell let users install ANY 120mm fan they wanted.

[nuttcase21]

No no, I think THIS is the largest cooler ever seen on an AMD Radeon HD 7970

absolutely amazing how overboard some people will go. i love the zip ties holding the cooler on there. way to go bro!!

[PatRaceTin]

the fan look cool

[edge929]

No no, I think THIS is the largest cooler ever seen on an AMD Radeon HD 7970

Zip ties? Seriously? I'm so trying this with my extra Hyper 212 tonight. Will call the fire dept in advance.

[Mungri]

Might be bigger, but I doubt it is as effective as an MSI cooler.

Also the referrence 7970 cooler is actually very decent this time around.
