Be Quiet!, Revoltec, Twintech3D, HIS & Galaxy

Be Quiet! and Revoltec

Shhh, Be Quiet, >80% efficient power supply's which have colored connectors to make sure you don't connect them the wrong way. The PSU self is good for up to 800W and comes with four 12V rails, it is able to feed high-end gaming machines with up to 4 video cards in SLI/CrossFire.

Be Quiet is offering modular PSU designs; they come with a unique 5-pin molex like connector which makes it possible to feed more current over the 12V line.

The retail packaging of these power supplies is quite eye-catching, and unique too, take a look:

The Revoltec brand is still quite new and expanding, notebook coolers and external hard drives and compact mice all in the same theme:

But also enthusiast material like this thermal paste and quiet case fans:

HDD and chipset coolers:

Twintech3D

Twintech3D showcased custom cooled Geforce 9600 GT cards:

Another Twintech3D 9600GT, this time we found a different cooler and up to 1Gb DDR3 memory. Dual heatpipes and a large cooling fan should make this a rather silent card too, the ultimate 9600GT?

HIS

HIS, known for their ATI based videocard products, showed us their liquid cooled HD3870 series. The heatsink is a single slot full cover solution and can be easily used in multi GPU solutions. This is a prototype though, it's not clear if this product will ever find its way to the consumer market.

The dual video cards are being cooled by a single radiator which is mounted in two 5.25” bays.

Galaxy

Galaxy's 9600GT, we already had a look at it earlier.

Madshrimps (c)


The upcoming GeForce 9800GX2, a dual slot video card which is not only equipped with 1Gb DDR3 memory but also comes with dual G92 GPU's. The card exists out of two printed circuit boards; the main reason why it is still this large is because of the cooling this card requires. As you mat have noticed from our picture, this card has 'breathing' gaps in order to get enough cool air to the space in between the PCB's, where both GPU's are located.

What's up with all the companies making their own passive cooler instead of just putting an S1 on the G92 cards?
Comment from jmke @ 2008/03/25
in-house dev+production most likely cheaper than licensing their tech

I doubt it, the pricing of the S1 cooled GT of ECS @ Newegg BEFORE Newegg jacked up the price (was below 200 when it started).
