EKWB Announces Waterblock
For Titan X (Pascal) Reference Cards
EK Water Blocks has announced the EK-FC Titan X
Pascal, a full-cover waterblock for graphics cards based
on NVIDIA’s reference design for the new Titan X.
The new Titan X cards are based on NVIDIA’s Pascal
architecture and represent the most powerful single-
processor graphics cards now on the market. EK’s new
waterblock for the Titan X covers the GPU as well as the
card’s memory and voltage regulation module. The base
for the block is made of electrolytic copper, and users
have their choice of either a “bare” copper base or one
that has been nickel-plated. Users also can opt to match
the base with tops that are made of POM Acetal (black)
or acrylic (see-through). The acrylic tops include a couple
of pre-drilled holes for 3mm LEDs. MSRP for the new
blocks ranges from $123.99 for the bare-copper version
to $135.49 for the nickel-plated version.
BitFenix Offers Choice Of Black,
White In New Aurora Chassis Line
BitFenix has announced its new Aurora tower case line. The
Aurora cases come in either midnight black or arctic white
color schemes, and they are made of steel and ABS. They
feature two tempered-glass side panels. The glass panel that
lets you view your motherboard components is clear, while
the panel on the back side of the motherboard has a very
dark tint. The Aurora is a full-tower chassis (19.29 x 9.84 x
20.47 inches, HxWxD) that can handle motherboards up to
E-ATX and graphics cards up to 15.75 inches. Power supplies
can range up to 8.66 inches. The cases have a tool-free and
modular storage design, with cages that can store up to four
hard drives. There also are brackets for three SSDs, two of
which are behind the motherboard. There are seven expansion
slots on the Aurora, and on the top I/O panel there are two
USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports as well as HD audio mic and
headphone jacks. Aurora includes an RGB controller; MSRP
is $99.
