PowerColor Brings Arctic Cooling To Its GPUs

Tired of cards with serious cooling being reserved for the "hardcore crowd" willing to pay extra? If so, this tie-up should make your day. TUL Corporation (or PowerColor, as it were) has just landed a deal with Arctic Coling to bring the latter's heralded cooling solutions to the former's AMD-based graphics cards. Specifically, it's 92mm cooling will soon become an integral part of the Professional Cool Solution (PCS) product line, which will increase air flow at a lower fan speed to dissipate heat from an optimized heat sink. We've yet to hear of any actual products yet, but we're sure this partnership will bear fruit in the not too distant future. The full release is posted below.

POWERCOLOR ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH ARCTIC COOLING FOR MAINSTREAM GRAPHICS CARDS

Taipei, Taiwan – April 22, 2009–TUL Corporation, a leading manufacturer of AMD graphics cards, is proud to announce the collaboration with award-winning cooling solution provider, ARCTIC COOLING. The partnership brings a premium cooling solution, typically only found in performance and enthusiast cards to the mainstream market.

The special fan design avoids direct contact with high temperatures emanating from the heat sink, extending the life cycle of the cooling fan. Keeping fan noise at a minimum with PowerColor’s unique fan control technology, the fan speed automatically adjusts while it’s under idle, in 2D or 3D mode—helping to deliver the perfect heat dissipation, allowing a better user experience.

“ARCTIC COOLING is the perfect fit for our Professional Cooling Solution line,” says Ted Chen, C.E.O. of TUL Corporation. “Our goal was to provide a high quality cooling solution at an affordable price to our mainstream consumers and with this partnership, I think we have achieved that.“

ARCTIC COOLING has been at the forefront in the industry when it comes to providing cooling solutions, for not just VGA cards but also CPU and case fans among others.

"PowerColor possesses the world’s leading technology and expertise in graphic card design. We, ARCTIC COOLING, manufacture precise and distinctive cooling solutions developed by the latest fluidic analysis software and hundreds of simulations. Our exciting cooperation will certainly push the frontier of graphic solutions further and will fulfill the gamers’ expectations of tomorrow", says Magnus Huber, Managing Director ARCTIC COOLING.
