Inno3D GeForce GTX 480 iChill Black Series FurMarked
Inno3D‘s new GeForce GTX 480 is equipped with a water cooling block designed by Bitspower.
This GTX 480 comes with an overclocked GPU (+20MHz then +40MHz for the shaders since both clocks are linked) and memory (+26MHz):
- GPU: GF100 @ 720MHz
- Shader cores: 480 @ 1440MHz
- Memory: 1536MB GDDR5 @ 950MHz (or 3800MHz effective)
See HERE for the specs of the reference GTX 480.
The question: what are the performances of this water block when the GPU is highly stressed ?
Guru3D brings us the the answer with FurMark:
- idle mode: 31°C
- stress mode with FurMark (during 30 min): 57°C
57°C is around 40°C in less since with the stock VGA cooler, the same GPU reaches 95°C when it’s tortured by our furry donut 
We have to note that the GPU temperature with the water block can vary according to the liquid cooling.
Here is the temperatue monitoring of MSI Afterburner:

Why does the fan speed shows 44% in that screenshot even there is no fan???
Bala: The fan is on the radiator…dude.
Those are the best temp improvements I’ve seen.
