Corsair Releases Hydro Series HG10 GPU Liquid Cooling Bracket
Corsair today announced the immediate availability of the Hydro Series HG10 A1 Edition GPU liquid cooling bracket for AMD Radeon R9 290X and 290 graphics cards.
Both a bracket and a heatsink, the HG10 allows the users to attach a Corsair Hydro Series liquid cooler to their graphics card to cool the GPU and other critical circuitry, unlocking a new level of performance and cooling for their GPU.
The black anodized aluminium HG10 bracket combined with a Corsair liquid cooler is a full-coverage GPU liquid cooling solution which cools the graphics card’s GPU as well as the heat-producing voltage regulator module (VRM) and video memory. The HG10 utilizes the graphics card’s original cooling fan, ensuring improved compatibility with the card’s fan speed and temperature monitoring features.
Paired with any Corsair Hydro series liquid cooler, the HG10 is able to easily dissipate large amounts of heat from the graphics card, dropping peak temperatures by as much as 50 degrees Celsius and at significantly lower noise levels. The extra cooling on offer can open up substantial overclocking headroom, allowing enthusiasts to extract every bit of performance from their card. In addition, the improved cooling largely eliminates the graphics card’s thermal throttling of performance, resulting in a card that not only runs quieter and cooler, but faster as well.
The Hydro Series HG10 A1 Edition GPU liquid cooling bracket is designed to support all stock reference versions of AMD Radeon R9 290X and 290X graphics cards. A full list of compatible cards can be found at corsair.com. New HG10 editions compatible with NVIDIA® GeForce® Titan, 7 Series, and other GPUs will be available in early 2015.
Pricing, Availability, and Warranty
The HG10 A1 Edition is priced at $39.99

I don't see this cooling the VRM's that well.
I don't see any real "heatsinks" on the bracket that would help cool them down.
The fan is blowing air over a flat surface, which isn't very efficient.
can anyone confirm that it doesn't overheat, or get too noisy, even when overclocked ?

I've found Hexus.nets review on it.
http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/cooling/77237-corsair-hydro-series-hg10/?page=4
They find that the VRM temps are pretty high, specifically for the VRM1 temps, the ones nearest the fan.
Due to the fact that the fan speed is controlled by the GPU temp, and the GPU is liquid cooled, it doesn't spin up that much.
It might be better to test it with a manual fan setting, that is still inaudible among the whole system noise, but thats faster than idle.
