MSI fortsätter att lansera nya grafikkort och efter att AMD både lanserat sina Radeon HD 4890 samt HD 4770 grafikkort med buller och brak är man nu tillbaka med NVIDIAs grafikkretsar. MSI har lanserat en specialmodell av GeForce GTX 285, som fortfarande är marknadens snabbaste singel-GPU grafikkort, där man gett sig på kylningen av denna avancerade grafikkrets. Den vanliga standardkylaren har bytts ut mot ett, vad sägs, betydligt effektivare vattenblock tillverkat helt i koppar. MSI hävdar att deras N285GTX HydroGen ska ge 40% lägre temperaturer än kort med referenskylaren, vilket gör det möjligt för MSI att skeppa kortet överklockat till 700MHz GPU samt 2600MHz minne.

Slim, Cool and Silent MSI unveils N285GTX HydroGen graphics card
Taipei, Taiwan — Micro-Star International (MSI), global brand manufacturer of high-end graphics cards and professional mainboard, today announced their latest N285GTX HydroGen graphics cards series. The MSI N285GTX is equipped with the exclusive all-copper Micro Channel water cooling. This solution provides the lowest operating temperature while staying absolutely calm, is a scarcely seen high-end solution for GTX285 powered graphics cards on today’s market.
All-Copper, Dramatically Reducing Temperature
When purchasing a new high-end graphics card, the overclocking capability is the major consideration, this is especially true with the N285GTX graphics chip which is done in a new manufacturing process. Therefore, in using an advanced high-efficiency cooling system you will be able to squeeze even that last bit of performance out of the graphics card. MSI continues using the industry leading Micro Channel water cooling technology that had been setting new standard already with the previous X38 and N280GTX series, utilizing an all-copper water cooling tank made of lathe-processed sub-millimeter sized copper. With this extra thin water cooling tank the N285GTX HydroGens heat dissipation efficiency even beats competitors with a double-sized conductor body.
In real life field tests under full load the MSI N285GTX HydroGen with its Micro Channel water cooling managed to decrease heat emission by more than 40% when compared to conventional fan cooled graphics cards of the same product level.
MSIs exclusive HydroGen Micro Channel water cooling by far exceeds cooling efficiency of regular air cooling fans and therefore gives overclockers much more room to fully indulge in the technical challenge of overclocking voltages and bus speeds to the maximum. Since with the MSI N285GTX HydroGen those respective heat issues are a thing of the past.
1-Slot Design, Revolutionizing Craft
The Micro Channel and all-copper design offer great cooling efficiency as well as improved installation convenience. As MSI insists on using a 1-Slot solution this also reduces the actual weight of the graphics card whereby weight pressure on the slot is minimized and the graphics board wont bend anymore either. And the all-copper water tank design offers increased heat transfer efficiency in comparison with other solutions out in the market. For power users and gaming enthusiasts using 2-way or even 3-way SLI the MSI N286GTX HydroGen brings about a maximum of installation convenience. As you dont have to worry about a lack of space between the PCI-E slots on your mainboard any more, and therefore wouldnt be able to use water cooled graphics solutions.
ISO Standard Size Pipe Thread Design match all standard
The MSI N285GTX HydroGen uses the internationally accepted G ¼ Inch (DIN ISO 228-1) standard for the water tank pipe thread. Different from other manufactures who are applying a closed and self-contained system, this utilization of the DIN ISO standard pipe thread doesnt only help to save money for consumables such as pumps, water pipes, cooling liquid etc., but also offers full compatibility for existing and additional upgrade water cooling systems.
