If the GPU is the heart of a graphics card, then the cooling device would be its lungs. Without it, the graphics card would not be able to "breath" smoothly, causing it to break down or even cause the entire system to fail. For ultimate cooling, ASUS Direct CU thermal technology developed the ideal heat banishing copper in exclusively designed heat pipes for direct & fast heat dissipation. Thick copper heatpipes are accurately positioned in direct contact with the GPU surface so heat is transported & dissipated efficiently to the heatsink
- achieving a 20% cooler performance than reference. Since heat is carried away faster, fans can spin at a lower speed thus resulting in quieter performance than reference.
