Gigabyte Shows GeForce GTX 980 WaterForce 3-way SLI
Will this ever reach retail ? I don't know. But it has a valid SKU code, N980X3WA-4GD. At computex Gigabyte already was showing this a bit but it seems that they are releasing a GeForce GTX 980 WaterForce. The kit would consist out of three GeForce GTX 980 graphics cards that come with pre-fitted liquid cooling connected to a radiator and reservoir box.
Now, the three cards come factory-overclocked at a 1228 MHz core with a 1329 MHz GPU Boost, and 7.00 GHz memory. It has a liquid-cooling pump-block sitting on top of the GPU yet also cools memory and VRM.
Each card is attached to its own 120mm radiator. If you look at the box, you will notice that you can regulate fan RPM and this noise levels as well as pump speed. Next to that you can read out VAG temperature, fan and pump RPM etc on an LCD display.
Well check out the pretty pictures I'd say.

70 Degrees is too much for a 970/980 GTX.
It throttles exactly at 70 degrees.
You'd be surprised. I've been running a single 120mm antec aio on my 680 with an oc and it never goes above 74c during intensive benchmarks. More than enough if you ask me.

I know what you're saying but 74c is like worst case scenario max temp I could achieve. Isn't 900 series cooler by design? During gaming the gpu is never really stressed enough to achieve max temps anyway. Just my 2c

They throttle at 80c, but anyone with Afterburner can easily change that.

Not if you set the temputure target higher if it's the same as my 780, or is the 980 different?
Does anyone know what that big ugly poll is for inside the case?

is 120mm rad gonna be enough for one gpu?
It'll probably run really warm though.
