Tul has announced two GT based products under the PowerColor brand, one of which features a new GPU cooling system developed by Thermaltake.
The name of the game is overclocking and last week we saw Sapphire launch a set of X800 GTO based cards nudged in the direction of overclockers. Tul are using the X800 GT here, though. Use of the TideWater cooling system from Thermaltake could give the PowerColor card the best overclocking results.
The X800 GT Evo's cooling system comprises everything a normal watercooling system would have. It has a radiator, reservoir, waterblock and pump, all scaled down to fit in as small a space as possible. While small, the cooling system alone still occupies two mounting slots on the motherboard, so call it three when you've added the graphics card itself and you may have decent overclocking, but you're running out of space for other add-in cards.
The cooling module is no titch either. It's length could prove a problem to users with particularly cramped PC innards.
All of this aside, however, and if this cooling solution can deliver the PowerColor card with leading overclocking performance at a competitive price, people with the room for it will no doubt snap it up.
