Direct CU H2O is a hybrid thermal solution that combines the vapor chamber & water channel with standard G1/4-inch threaded fittings to easily accommodate existing liquid cooling equipment. With liquid, Direct CU H2O achieves up to 2 times (27°C) lower temperatures while reducing noise- up to 3x quieter. Unique fan design extends longevity by 25% by increased dust & particle resistance while efficiently dissipates heat for optimal performance. ROG Poseidon GTX 980 features a 10-phase super alloy power along with acclaimed DIGI+VRM (voltage
- regulation module). DIGI+ VRM is a digital voltage regulation that provides ample room for overclocking & performance tuning while reducing power noise by 30%. Along with super alloy power specially formulated concreted chokes & harden MOSFETs to withstand greater stress & heat, Poseidon GTX 980 also uses Japanese-made black metallic solid-state capacitors for 20% better temperature endurance & 5 times longer lifespan.
