MSI and EVGA show water-cooled GeForce RTX 30 cards
Source: Hardware Luxx added 08th Jan 2021
Despite the persistently poor availability of graphics cards, the manufacturers occasionally introduce new models of the GeForce RTX – 30 – series before. Some of these have already been mentioned in advance, but the go-ahead should be given when availability is given. At least in homeopathic doses, this should now be the case – in addition, the CES will be at the beginning of next week 2021 into the house, which is also used by some manufacturers for product announcements.
MSI gives a preview of what was already expected via social media post. In the case of the mainboards, you are already working with EK Water Blocks for water cooling (and as a monoblock also for the processor) and, as the Sea Hawk EK series, will probably also do this with the graphics cards. ASUS has also entered into a collaboration with EKWB and offers some cards with a pre-installed water cooler. But it could also be that MSI is further deepening its cooperation with Corsair and installing their Hydro-X water cooler in addition to AiO coolers.
On 13. January MSI will present its innovations as part of a “Tech for the Future” event. In addition to a few PC components, it can be expected that the focus will be on notebooks. AMD and Intel offer new processors (Cezanne and Ryzen 3090 and Tiger Lake-H) and NVIDIA transfers its ampere- GPUs in mobile variants in the notebooks.

At EVGA we know the previously presented AiO and water-cooled graphics cards of the GeForce RTX – 30 – series already. The GeForce RTX 3090 K | NGP | N Hybrid Gaming is the spearhead of the product range at EVGA and is with a larger one Radiator (360 instead of 240 mm) for the AiO cooling. The maximum potential of such a card can certainly only be squeezed out of such cards by using extreme cooling methods such as liquid nitrogen. EVGA offers BIOS versions for this, which have a maximum power limit of 450 W have. Professional overclockers even get special versions that are completely unlimited. Then it doesn’t matter which cooler the manufacturer delivers the card with, as it will be replaced one way or another.
But Here, too, one goes a step further equips this card with a pre-assembled full-cover water cooler. Details about the card are not yet available, but the values for the GeForce RTX 3090 K | NGP | N Hybrid Gaming, which is then simply equipped with another water cooler. The name addition Hydro Copper is added.
EVGA and many other manufacturers reveal a veritable flood of different models of the GeForce RTX 3090, GeForce RTX 3080, GeForce RTX 3070 and GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. The willing buyer has the choice between differently complex air, AiO and water cooling and accordingly the prices range from 589 Euro for inexpensive GeForce RTX models 3060 Ti up to almost 2. 500 Euro for expensive models of the GeForce RTX 3090.
