DESIGNED TO PERFORM
Pushing the limits is the Hall of Fame series’ reason for being—fueling the passion for World record breaking overclocks and peerless in-game performance. This passion is rivaled only by KFA2’s dedication to engineering the most capable, powerful and uncompromised hardware for the task, and the results have earned HOF series graphics cards a reputation as the best since their global debut in 2013.
Working in-conjunction with Bitspower, KFA2 has developed a water cooling solution designed to fully unleash the raw potential of the GTX 980Ti HOF graphics cards with the unprecedented cooling capacity needed for extreme overclocks.
Bitspower was founded in 2001, Committed to the development of water cooling products for high-end enthusiast gaming rigs.
Their boutique design style with in the water cooling world, has gained recognition over the years to become one of the most unique water cooling manufactures in market, keeping functionality as their main focus with the reassurance of using the highest quality materials with in their block designs.
Why water cooling?
A water block is the watercooling equivalent of a heatsink, it can be used on many different computer components including the central processing unit (CPU), GPU, PPU, and Northbridge chipset on the motherboard.
Consisting of at least two main parts; the "base", which is the area that makes contact with the device being cooled and is usually manufactured from metals with high thermal conductivity such as aluminum or copper, the "top" ensures the water is contained safely inside the water block and has connections that allow hosing to be connected with in the water cooling loop.
The top can be made of the same metal as the base, transparent Perspex, Delrin, Nylon, or HDPE. Most newer high end water blocks also contain mid-plates which serve to add jet tubes, nozzles, and other flow altering devices. Water cooling is better at dissipating heat than an aircooled heatsink due to water's higher specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity.
HOF block design features:
The base of the HOF water block is produced with highest quality copper material, to help dissipate heat produced from the GPU, all blocks have been electroplated and antioxidation to stop any corrosion.
The top cover of the HOF waterblock is based on Pure White Acrylic and Stainless panel, in keeping with the clean aesthetics of HOF's white PCB.
The back plate of the block is produced in aluminum, protecting the components on the back of video card, enhancing the overall heat dissipation.
