14 DAY TRIAL // CoolIT, a company well renowned for its liquid cooling solutions, has just announced the introduction of the Omni N590 closed-loop water cooler which was specially designed for Nvidia's dual-GPU GeForce GTX 590 graphics card and is targeted towards system integrators.
The Omni N590 is compatible with both single and SLI GTX 590 setups and CoolIT claims that it can deliver up to 30°C lower GPU operating temperatures than the reference Nvidia design while also minimizing acoustics.
“We have no doubt that our Omni N590 will be an extremely successful product for us and our system builder partners,” says Barry Fairhurst, Vice President of Worldwide Sales, Marketing and Services.
“Leveraging off our success with Omni N480 and N580, Omni N590 will continue to ensure our leadership position in liquid cooling for enthusiast graphic cards,” concluded the company's rep.
Launched in mid-March, the GeForce GTX 590 is Nvidia's fastest graphics card to date as it packs two GF110 cores on the same PCB and features no less than 1024 streaming processors, 128 texturing units and 96 ROP units.
The 3GB of GDDR5 video buffer (1.5GB for each of the two graphics cores) are connected to the GPUs via two independent 384-bit memory interfaces.
Clock speeds have been set at 608MHz for the GPU and 853MHz (3414MHz data rate) for the memory and the card's “real world” TDP is estimated at a massive 365W by Nvidia.
Is this high TDP that makes the GTX 590 a prime candidate for water cooling, especially when installed in SLI mode.
The CoolIT Omni N590 is immediately available from select system integrators including Maingear, Falcon Northwest and Puget Systems as part of a complete system.
The price of the Omni N590 varies depending on builder, but Falcon North West asks $345 for this upgrade.
