Keeping high-performance processors cool could arguably be the PC industry's greatest challenge to date. And if Moore's Law is taken into consideration, CPU cooling will become paramount in the future of computing. Recognizing the risk to motherboards that hot high-end processors and onboard capacitors pose, much of GIGABYTE's industry leading R&D resources are focused on developing innovative and effective cooling technologies that help to extend the lifespan of highly stressed internal components. Over the past year, the 3D-Cooler Series and 3D-Rocket Cooler Series from GIGABYTE have won numerous awards and gained industry-wide support from mainstream and power users alike due to their performance particularly in the areas of efficiency, user friendly and remarkably low noise operation. This year, GIGABYTE presents the new G-Power Cooler, the most advanced high performance cooler from GIGABYTE that is designed for extreme thermal conditions, such as overclocking. Available in two SKUs, GIGABYTE's new flagship cooler series target power users with the G-Power Pro model that features manually adjustable fan speed and for mainstream users seeking a quiet solution, there is the G-Power Super Silent. Both units employ the same large fan for cooling neighboring capacitors and a unique quad heat pipe design with GIGABYTE proprietary technology that makes them compatible with every mainstream PC platform currently on the market, i.e. Intel^® LGA 775 and Socket 478 as well as AMD K8 and K7 platforms. Furthermore, G-Power Coolers do not require any tools for installation making them a breeze to quickly and easily install or remove. What more could anyone possibly want in a cooler? Unprecedented Thermal Efficiency and Versatility From the ground up, G-Power Coolers are designed for efficiently transferring heat away from the CPU. The base of the cooler has a polished nickel electroplating around a solid copper foot allowing for superior contact with the CPU. The quad heat pipes use sintered power wick technology to enable the cooling fluid inside them to flow back to the heat source after condensation - even if it has to travel upwards. This means that the cooler can be mounted in virtually any position to accommodate a range of case designs, making the G-Power Cooler a case modders dream! Typical of all GIGABYTE coolers, the G-Power models use large fans that generate strong air currents through the cooling fins even at low revolutions with near silent operation. Air-flow from the fan effectively cools other components around the CPU, reducing the chance of capacitor failure for gamers and overclockers who push their rigs to the limit. Peace of Mind and Tranquility In addition to their ultra-efficient cooling capabilities, G-Power Coolers boast near silent operation due to their innovative design that reduces air friction and turbulence through the fin tunnel. The G-Power Cooler Pro includes a fan speed control module that allows users to manually adjust the airflow and noise to best suit their individual needs. The fan speed control module provides users with a range of operating speeds from as little as 1700RPM up to an impressive 3200RPM. Revolutionary Aesthetics With its unique design, the G-Power Coolers boldly revolutionizes what modern CPU coolers should look like with crisp chrome-like structures and blue LEDs that will compliment any chassis or case mod. Universal Compatibility The G-Power Cooler's universal bracket allows it to be installed on all mainstream PC platforms Intel LGA775/Socket 478 and AMD K8/K7. And what's more, users do not require any special tools as the coolers can be installed by hand. Increased Reliability and Longevity The lifespan of capacitors can be cut in half for every temperature rise of 10 degrees Celsius. With outstanding cooling provided by the GIGABYTE G-Power Coolers, the lifespan and reliability of the CPU and its surrounding components is significantly extended providing better value for money and lower total cost of ownership for PC enthusiasts.
