The TechN RTX 2080 GPU water cooler water cooling block at a glance:
- Custom-fit for RTX 2080 graphics cards in reference design
- Effective cooling performance thanks to nickel-plated electrolytic copper base
- Chic look thanks to the acrylic lid and aluminum design in black
- Exchangeable side logo with magnetic holder
- Four G1 / 4-inch connections for integration into the circuit
- Integrated RGB LED lighting with 12V RGB LED strip
Why should I cool my graphics card with water?
Top performance is still bought in the graphics card segment with an equally top heat development. Because only if the clock screw is turned as far as it will go and the calculation units are used right down to the last segment can the decisive advantage be achieved over the competition. Smaller structure widths and more efficient layouts can limit this problem, but they cannot be completely eliminated. Because, as expected, the next generation will be challenged to the maximum.
The problem is exacerbated by overclocking because the temperatures can reach critical values. In short: If you want a low volume even while gaming or even benching and possibly want to turn the clock screw at the same time, you can hardly avoid water cooling. In addition to the usual components (radiator, pump, expansion tank), a suitable cooler for the graphics card is of course necessary - like this model from the German manufacturer TechN.
Optics and connections of the TechN RTX 2080 GPU water cooler
It is a full block design , which covers all relevant heat sources of the graphics card and thus effectively cools - i.e. the GPU, the memory and the voltage converter. Nickel-plated electrolytic copper is used to optimally transfer the heat.
The lid made of transparent acrylic glass is adorned with a black anodized aluminum cover including integrated 12V RGB LED lighting . The connection terminal has four holes (G1 / 4-inch thread). Due to the flat design of the cooler, the connection of several graphics cards in a graphics card network is also possible without any problems.
Note 1: Connections that are not included in the scope of delivery are required for integration into the cooling circuit. Thermal paste and thermal pads are already included to make contact between the cooler and graphics card. Make sure that the cooler is only suitable for NVIDIA graphics cards of the type RTX 2080 ! The original cooler must be removed before assembly, which can invalidate the manufacturer's guarantee!
