<b>Air or Liquid – Your Choice to Chill</b>
Designed to provide superb performance on air or liquid, the ROG Poseidon graphics card incorporates DirectCU H2O to give you the flexibility and freedom of choice.
Liquid cooling has been a choice for many PC enthusiast as a efficient means of heat removal and increased overclocking potential of carefully selected hardware. However, custom water cooling solutions can be difficult and costly, as original cooling solutions have to be removed and fitted with waterblocks. The ROG team engineered the Poseidon with revolutionary DirectCU H2O to give you the best of air and liquid cooling- providing total flexibility whether you are looking to liquid cool now or later. Venturing into liquid cooling with the Poseidon reduces GPU temperatures by up to 27°C and enjoy ultra-stable overclocking!
<b>DirectCU H2O Hybrid Cooling</b>
<b>Complete flexibility for either air or liquid cooling</b>
DirectCU H2O is a hybrid thermal solution that combines the vapor chamber and water channel with standard G1/4- inch threaded fittings to easily accommodate existing liquid cooling equipment. With liquid, DirectCU H2O achieves up to 2 times(27°C) lower temperatures while reducing noise- up to 3X quieter.
<b>Dust-Proof Fans</b>
<b>25% longer graphics card lifespan</b>
Unique fan design extends longevity by 25% by increased dust and particle resistance while efficiently dissipates heat for optimal performance.
<b>DIGI+ VRM with Black Metallic Capacitors</b>
<b>30% less power noise and 5X greater durability</b>
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 and performance tuning while reducing power noise by 30%. Along with Super Alloy Power specially formulated concreted chokes and harden MOSFETs to withstand greater stress and heat, Poseidon GTX 980 also uses Japanese-made black metallic solid-state capacitors for 20% better temperature endurance and 5 times longer lifespan.
<b>ROG LED Light</b>
<b>Pulsates in glorious red when the card is active</b>
ROG Poseidon GTX 980 exceeds your expectations while looking amazing. ROG LED pulsates in ROG red when the card is in use.
<b>ROG Edition GPU Tweak</b>
