With Danger Den's water block

BFG has announced its new Geforce 9800 GTX H2OC 512MB graphics card that will use a ThermoIntelligence custom copper water block that is co-developed by BFG and Danger Den. It just wouldn't be a BFG water-cooled graphics card if it wasn't factory overclocked.

The new card works at 780MHz for the core and comes with 512MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1,160MHz (2,320MHz effective). The Shader clock got boosted to a stunning 1,944MHz. The reference 9800GTX works at 675MHz for the core, 2,200MHz for the memory and 1,688MHz for Shaders, so this is a massive factory overclock.

The massive overclock isn't the only thing, as this card uses a custom high-performance water block paired up with Arctic Silver thermal compound. This combination is enough to get a 28°C lower GPU temperature when compared with the reference cooled card. The water-cooling solution is also completely silent, and unlike the dual slot reference card, the water-cooling takes only one slot.
