14 DAY TRIAL // There are already a bunch of coolers for NVIDIA's top-end single-GPU graphics adapter, so Inno3D decided to try for something unusual, creating the GeForce GTX Titan iChill Black Series.
The company didn't actually create the cooler on the board. Instead, it asked Arctic for its Accelero Hybrid model.
The Accelero Hybrid uses a closed-loop liquid cooler for the GPU (graphics processing unit) and a normal fan-heatsink combo for the memory chips and VRM (voltage regulation module).
Considering what monster the 28nm GK110 is, it isn't a bad thing at all that it is getting special treatment.
For those that need a reminder, GK110 is the strongest GPU NVIDIA has made to this day. Designed on the Kepler architecture, it has 2,688 CUDA cores, 224 TMUs, 48 ROPs and a memory interface (communicates with GDDR5 memory) of 384 bits.
It is no wonder that the chip was, for a long time, considered too powerful for the consumer market. It was even used in Tesla K20 supercomputing GPU compute accelerators.
NVIDIA only released the GeForce GTX Titan because it needed a limited edition beast to tidy it over until the later parts of 2013.
That said, the GTX Titan iChill Black card from Inno3D has a clock speed of 937 MHz for the GPU, 980 MHz in GPU Boost mode. The 6 GB of memory work at 6 GHz.
For comparison, the reference Titan has the same memory performance, but a GPU clock of 100 MHz below the above mark: 837 MHz / 876 MHz GPU Boost.
Two PCI Express inputs, one of 6 pins and one with 8 pins, provide the necessary power, though the power supply of the PC will need to be at least moderately powerful.
Finally, the newcomer also gets an HDMI output, a DisplayPort connector and a dual-link DVI video interface. No availability and pricing details, sadly.
