Asetek has been busying itself working on a liquid cooling solution - with a twist - for the GTX 580.
Asetek's contraption appears to breathe life into several components of NVIDIA's reference GTX 580 cooler, and delivers an almost-hybrid liquid cooling system, believed to be a factory-fitted mod con for an upcoming PNY GTX 580 SKU.
With this seemingly self-contained solution, liquid cooling goes to work on the GPU while traditional air cooling, is dealt out the task of cooling other PCB components - such as the VRM and memory.
Overclocking performance being where it's at, 955MHz on the core and 4,400MHz effective on the memory was achieved, with a claimed temperature advantage of roughly 25°C to 30°C - and up to 7dB quieter - compared to reference air cooling running at full pelt.
