Chinese videocard manufacturing company Colorful surprised us lately with interesting product designs and original cooling systems. Now, the company is proudly presenting its new fanless solution for Nvidia’s top single-GPU solution, the GeForce GTX 680.
They have a considerably hot GPU, like Nvidia’s Kepler work in a fanless solution is quite a significant design and engineering achievement.
The main problem is the fact that cooling performance is heavily dependent on the temperature of the surrounding air.
Place Colorful’s fanless GTX 680 in a warm room with ambient temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius, in a crowded case or simply in a weakly-ventilated case and you will run into overheating issues.
For such a situation, Colorful reportedly offers an additional cooling system that will sit on top of the card and that will provide a combined cooling surface of 200 square meters across 280 cooling fins connected to a total of 20 heatpipes.
The company is still thinking about releasing the product on the market so there’s no word yet on pricing or availability.
