Cool gaming speed from Axiz

Axiz enables gamers to enjoy 11% faster graphics and 12^0C lower temperatures with the ASUS EN8800GTX AquaTank/HTDP/768M graphics card

Johannesburg, 27 Mar 2007

"Speed is the name of the game with any kind of PC, game station or entertainment device. Constantly striving to make things run faster, a renewed focus has been placed on cooling these power toys to extend the device's life span," comments Nicole Dix, ASUS product manager, Axiz.

The EN8800GTX AquaTank/HTDP/768M is equipped with the latest AquaTank all-in-one water-cooled module, allowing the GPU to run at temperatures 12^0C lower than the reference thermal module design.

The module uses a series of rubber tubes to pipe warm water away from the graphics card to a separate module. This fits into the space reserved for a PCI slot, venting the heat out of the back of the PC case via a fan.

The water-cooling means ASUS can clock the AquaTank much higher, enabling up to 11% faster graphics performance. Specifically, ASUS clocked the Aquatank's GPU clock up to 630MHz; its shader clocks up to 1.458GHz, and the memory clock up to 2.06GHz. Speeds much quicker when compared to competitors.

The EN8800GTX AquaTank/HTDP/768M is available immediately from Axiz. For more information, contact Nicole Dix, Product Manager, on (011) 237 7228, or visit www.axiz.com.
