Want all of the benefits of a liquid cooled graphics card without the hassle of refilling and maintaining a separate water pump? The BFG NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 285 H2O+™ with ThermoIntelligence® Advanced Cooling Solution is a maintenance-free, self-contained liquid cooling solution that easily installs into most systems right out of the box*, and never needs refilling! This unique solution features a BFG GeForce GTX 285 H2O+ graphics card PLUS a high-performance fan, radiator and pump assembly that pushes coolant across the GPU and exhausts heat directly outside of your chassis. Three different system speed settings, Auto, Quiet and Maximum, give total control over acoustics and performance.

*System must meet minimum system requirements

ADVANCED COOLING ASSEMBLY
Advanced self-contained liquid cooling found only in BFG's Phobos™ system is now available to integrate hassle-free liquid cooling into any system**

High performance fan, radiator and pump assembly (heat exchanger) pushes coolant through the system and exhausts heat directly outside of your chassis**

Three different manually selectable speed settings, Auto, Quiet and Maximum, give control over acoustics and thermal performance

** System must meet minimum system requirements for integration and rear heat exhaustion

CUSTOM COLD PLATE
Highly efficient custom cold plate directs cooling liquid over vital parts of the graphics card to effectively absorb heat

Keeps the graphics card running up to 30°C cooler under load as compared to standard air cooled models to ensure reliable operation and longevity

GAMING
NVIDIA® SLI® technology and 1GB of dedicated graphics memory provide blazing fast frame rates with game settings and resolution maxed out (2560x1600)

Experience world-class graphics performance in the hottest DirectX 10 games such as Far Cry 2

NVIDIA® PhysX™ technology brings your games to life with massively destructible environments and ultra-realistic physical interaction in games such as Mirror’s Edge
