Asetek has eagerly launched the first liquid-cooled HD 4870 X2, satisfying the needs of overclockers worldwide. The single-slot solution is detailed here.

We are Heat is an ‘age-old’ problem for computers. However, what once used to be a concern primarily for cutting-edge systems has now become an issue for everyone,” says Gary Baum, Asetek’s Senior VP of Marketing. “OEMs developing high-performance, low-noise systems require a safe thermal management solution that not only keeps their systems cool, but is easy to install, maintenance free, and most important, is virtually noise free,”

Baum continues: “The days of computers that sound like jet aircraft taking off are over. Our award-winning, LCLC provides worry-free, aggressive thermal management for advanced gaming and graphics-intensive applications—especially those using multiple GPUs like AMD’s latest R700-based graphics cards.”

When used as part of a Radeon HD 4870 X2 Crossfire configuration, the LCLC product consumes only two of the four slots normally used, freeing up two slots for other configuration upgrades. End users now have additional configuration flexibility.
