Swiftech Stealth Extreme Duty G80 Rev 3 VGA Waterblock

The Swiftech Stealth Extreme Duty G80 Rev 3 VGA Waterblock is designed exclusively for nVidia's high-end GeForce 8800 series graphics cards. The Stealth Revision 3 now includes a single mosftet heatsink instead of 4 individual ramsinks. This heatsink makes use of the board existing mounting holes. This new heatsink is not backwards compatible with earlier Stealth revisions. Using the same core cooling technology as the Apogee GT and GTX CPU water-blocks which are recognized as the best performing water-blocks on the market, the Stealth unique design approach focuses cooling where it is most needed: at the GPU level; with its extended wings covering the memory modules and NVIO chip, the massive aluminum housing also maintains the lowest possible temperature of these surface mount components; this allows in effect for the most advanced overclocking techniques which are necessary to take core and memory frequencies well beyond factory specifications.

The Swiftech Stealth is compatible with the 8800 GTS, GTX and Ultra models.

Features

• Swiftech Stealth is compatible with the 8800 GTS, GTX and Ultra models
• Rev 3 version iclundes one mosfet heatsink instead of four
• Cools GPU and VGA Memory
• Internal structure: the CNC machined C110 copper base plate is at the heart of Stealth water-block cooling efficiency. Designed and optimized using Computational Fluid Dynamics, it benefits from the same Diamond Pin Matrix technology used in the Award Winning GT and GTX CPU water-blocks. In fact, we use the Apogee GT/GTX base plates with the Stealth, thus guaranteeing the absolute best performance on the market.
• The housing is CNC machined out of billet aluminum and receives two plating treatments for a lifetime protection against corrosion: electroless nickel plating (MIL-C-26074E grade B) and Zinc Cobalt plating (ASTM B 840-99 grade 6). A black die is applied after plating strictly for cosmetic appeal.
• The housing is supported by a 5 year limited(*) warranty.
• The Stealth is shipped with 1/4" BSPP to 1/2" barb chrome fittings, and is also fully compatible with Swiftech's or other 1/4" BSPP to 3/8" barb fittings.
• The spring loaded screws shipped with the Stealth are the same as those used in nVidia's stock air-cooled solutions.
• We recommend a high quality thermal compound for better performance. A selection of Thermal Compounds is found here.
