Inno3D GeForce GTX295 iChill bundle and warranty

Inno3D GeForce GTX295 iChill

We stated this a couple of times already, I think the latest single-PCB reference design of the GTX 295 is already quite okay. But once you start to water-cool a GTX 295... things get a little more interesting. We get this PCB with two GPUs positioned on top of it and spot the Inno3D GeForce GTX295 iChill a shiny reflective cooling block. That definitely changes the dynamics and overall looks.

The sheer looks are strange, cool, mystic... 

We'll run through the entire water-cooling solution in the photo-shoot though. There's more to this product other than just the liquid cooling. NVIDIA recently started to allow the GTX 295 series to be pre-overclocked, and as such the Inno3D GeForce GTX295 iChill carries the following (higher than reference) clock frequencies and specs:

• Memory: 1792 MB (896 MB per GPU) at 1080 MHz
• Shaders processor: 240 per GPU, 480 in total @ 1242 MHz
• Core frequency: 600 MHz (Texture and ROP units)

Dual GPU based card or not, the H2O card is 2-way SLI compatible. That's right, rob your bank account and you could even place two of these puppies next to each other for some Quad SLI lovin'. As you can see with each bit of information we write up things get more interesting.

Packaging and Accessories then, included in the box you'll find:

• GeForce GTX 295 with pre-mounted Liquid cooling block
• Driver CD
• 6-pin to Molex power cable
• Manual / quick install guide
• VGA->DVI dongle
• S/PDIF cable
• Two fittings (barbs) for 2-way SLI (Quad in total)
• Two fittings (barbs) each for 3/8" inner diameter tubing
• Alone in the Dark Full game
• Warmonger Full game
• Coupon for Batman Arkham Asylum (download).
• Coupon for 10% discount Mirrors Edge

A pretty sweet bundle. All you need to hook up the water-cooled card is the actual water-cooling setup, your hands, and make sure you have 3/8" tubing or just order some barbs that match your tubing of course. Everything needed is in the kit. The one thing I do like to see included would be a set of clamps though.

Anyway, also included is a small S/PDIF cable. You hook it up to your mainboard/soundcard S/PDIF lead, then connect the wire to the S/PDIF input on the card and you'll now have multi-channel audio over HDMI. Touching on the topic of HDMI, BFG includes a HDMI cable with all cards that have an HDMI port. Very classy, I like that very much.

You'll receive a three year carry-in full warranty on iChill products.
