Product Overview
DirectCU II
For Ultimate cooling, ASUS thermal engineers developed the exclusive DirectCU thermal technology. Applying the exclusively designed heatpipes directly on GPU core for faster heat dissipation. Exclusive DirectCU II thermal design includes a direct-GPU contact 10mm copper heatpipe and 220% larger dissipation area to boost heat removal efficiency. It performs 20% cooler and 3X quieter than reference.
CoolTech Fan
Proprietary CoolTech fan consists of a hybrid blade and bearing design, with inner radial blower and outer flower-type blades. These provide multi-directional airflow to accelerate heat removal and enable highly stable graphics performance.
30% less power noise and 2.5X greater durability
Acclaimed DIGI+ VRM has been applied via a 8-phase power design that uses digital voltage regulators to minimize power noise by 30%, enhance power efficiency by 15%, widen voltage modulation tolerance, and improve overall stability and longevity by 2.5 times over reference. Features • DirectCU II : achieves 20% lower temps with 220% the dissipation area, plus 3X quieter running than reference
• Exclusive CoolTech Fan : drives wider airflow to keep critical components cool.
• 1000 MHZ engine clock for better performance and outstanding gaming experience.
• DIGI+ VRM with 8-phase Super Alloy Power : delivers precise digital power for superior efficiency, reliability, and performance
• GPU Tweak : helps you modify clock speeds, voltages, fan performance and more, all via an intuitive interface
• GPU Tweak Streaming : let you share on-screen action in real time – so others can watch live as games are played
• 19% faster game performance than reference Radeon R9 290 in BattleField 4™
