The new video card has a big waterblock and a back plate to boot

Since the GeForce GTX Titan graphics card from NVIDIA is already an overpowered beast, it takes special conditions to push it even higher.

After all, the better a video card, or a processor of any type really, runs, the more heat it generates.

Solid capacitors and strong VRMs can help keep things stable, but it ultimately falls to the cooler to keep things from melting.

Knowing this, Colorful equipped the iGame GeForce GTX Titan Ultra with the best water cooler it could think of.

The biggest hint that this isn't a normal water cooler is the compressor assembly inside a separate case the size of a micro-ATX tower.

The dual-slot waterblock is a really awe-inspiring sight too, as is the pair of insulated refrigerant pipes.

It's interesting to note that the waterblock covers both sides of the PCB, instead of just one.

Between all that and the phase-change cooler (the same principle as deep-freezers), the temperature can be driven as low as 50 degrees Celsius while the GPU operates at 954 MHz / 1,006 MHz (default/boost) and the 6 GB of GDDr5 at 6 GHz.
