Asetek, the creator of the all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler and the global leader in liquid cooling solutions for gaming PCs and DIY enthusiasts, today announced its Rad Card GPU Cooler, bringing liquid cooled GPUs to space constrained PC cases. Asetek’s Rad Card GPU Cooler, the industry’s first slot-in PCIe radiator card, is first available in Dell-Alienware’s newly introduced Alienware Aurora R11 PC.



Space concerns are a real issue for PC manufacturers, leaving GPU air cooling as the only option, until now. Asetek took this challenge head-on, innovating a new approach to radiator technology that reimagines the shape and location of the radiator. The Asetek Rad Card GPU Cooler fits into your motherboard’s PCIe slot, just like any other add-in card. By...

I love watching for those PR statements that hedge so much you can see skin.

"Performance: In space constrained PC cases, Rad Card provides superior cooling over an air-cooled GPU, ensuring GPU stability and limiting thermal throttling. "

In SPACE CONSTRAINED... meaning if you're running something along the lines of an HTPC then this might be for you. Short of that... I'm betting with that design and thermal heat dissipation channels that you're not looking at performance better than a case with good flow and air cooling.

Thoughts?

ThermalTake Tide Water was the first slot based GPU water cooler. I had one, back in 2005 or 2006.
