Parsippany, NJ – August 16, 2011 – PNY Technologies®, Inc. (“PNY”) launches their all-in-one Liquid Cooled Graphics solution, now available to consumers nationwide. The new line of Liquid Cooled Graphics will debut with two options: the XLR8™ Liquid Cooled GeForce® GTX 580 and XLR8™ Liquid Cooled GeForce® GTX 580 with CPU Cooling.
PNY and Asetek, a leader in CPU thermal management, have combined forces to launch a high-end Liquid Cooled Graphics solution geared towards gaming enthusiasts. Consumers will receive a fully integrated XLR8™ GeForce® GTX liquid cooled graphics system, with a combination GPU/CPU cooling version available as well. Engineered with a closed loop system, and built with an Asetek sealed water cooler already attached, the PNY design offers consumers an out-of-the-box ready, simple to install and reliable product.
PNY’s new Liquid Cooled Graphics system delivers significant benefits, with up to 30% cooler temperatures, 30% quieter acoustics and 10% faster performance than the standard reference designed NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 580 graphics card. With increased overclocking headroom versus air cooled, the liquid keeps overall temperature and noise levels low, while providing better performance for gamers. With a 30% reduction in temperature, PC parts are protected due to lower exposure to hot temperatures. Additionally, less noise is produced as fans aren’t running at maximum speed to compensate for the heat. Lower acoustics means a quieter gaming environment for more intense concentration and the option for gamers to eliminate the use of headphones to mask noise levels. The overall advantage is extreme performance and higher frame rates without the heat.
“Designed to increase performance while reducing noise and temperature, PNY’s Liquid Cooled Graphics offers the fastest factory-overclocked card currently on the market at 857 MHz,” said Nicholas Mauro, senior marketing manager, PC components for PNY. “The simple all-in-one design offers a powerful, yet easy to install and cost-effective gaming solution that’s backed by the PNY warranty. This highly anticipated graphics option will enable more enthusiast gamers to experience gaming in a whole new way.”
The first 100 consumers to purchase from PNY.com will receive a special promotional launch bundle. With the purchase of a Liquid Cooled GTX 580 on PNY.com, consumers will receive over $100 worth of bonus PNY gear: a 16ft Active High Speed HDMI Mini to HDMI Cable, a custom-built PNY 8GB ‘Liquid Cooled’ USB Flash Drive, and a ‘Liquid Cooled’ logo T-shirt.

joined compLexity at the beginning of 2009 and I have nothing but great things to say about the organization. I am still and will forever be a fan of compLexity – especially the management and staff, but I want to make a competitive push in FIFA starting in late September and training with Euro teams will help me do so. I have strayed from the habits that has taken me to the top in the past and although compLexity did everything it possibly could for me, and catered to all of my needs, I need to get back to the Euro community I cherished so much before the demise of the CGS. I think what I will miss the most about the organization is my interaction with Creative.
been playing StarCraft for almost 10 years, and Korea has always been the center of the StarCraft universe. It has always been a dream of mine to go there and compete and try to be one of the best players in the world. I’m excited to visit Korea and stay at the MVP house for some hardcore training. I’m working very hard right now so that I don’t get owned too badly when I get there. I’m really happy that compLexity has made this deal with MVP because it gives me this amazing opportunity. I want to thank compLexity and Team MVP, as well as Creative, PNY, SoundBlaster, Origin, and QPad USA for giving me this chance. I am very grateful and will do my best to take full advantage.
