Taiwanese hardware maker Asustek Computer Incorporated has unveiled a water-cooled graphics card: the AquaTank EN8800GTX graphics board, based on a Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX with 768MB DDR3 memory. According to an Asustek executive manning the company's booth at the Cebit trade show in Hanover, Germany, the AquaTank cards are currently in production and will soon be available. The company claims the water-cooling system helps to keep the graphics chip running 12 degrees Celsius (54 degrees Fahrenheit) cooler than other 8800GTX boards which translates into a performance gain of around 11% percent. Specific information about pricing and availability of the AquaTank graphics card was not available.

Gainward has had them for a good while.
12C is 54F
0C is 32F
Guess what 54 minus 32 equals?
But since F is not on the same scale as as C (where as K is), and we're talking of temperatures nearer the 60C mark, both of you are technically wrong.
12 degrees celcius does indeed equal 54 degrees farenheit. but we're talking about differential here.
12C = 54F
0C = 32F
do a little subtraction...
12C = 22F
Math. It works.
Actually, acxz, the difference is about 21.6 degrees farenheit even in the 60C range.
How do I know? I have a thermometer that's marked in both scales, that's how.
But you know what, America? Just learn Centigrade already. The rest of the world finished moving to Centigrade forty years ago. You're the only ones still using that outdated obsolete scale of measurement. Everyone else on the entire planet is tired of having to put up with America and it's stupid Fahrenheit scale.
Sorry for you if you're offended by that, but it's the truth.
I assume this is a pic. Can't get it any bigger. Could be an older card in the pic.
