ASUS ThunderboltEX II Components
ASUS graphics card engineering leads the industry once again with the introduction of Direct CU II SSU thermal design. Comprising two "S" and one "U" shapes, the new heat pipes are precision shaped for optimal efficiency and heat transference. They are also nickel-plated to minimize oxidization, with their mid-section now placed directly over the GPU die. This design shortens heat transfer travel to lower thermal resistance and create bi-directional flow for up to twice the cooling capacity in the same space as that required by existing graphics card cooler designs. Acclaimed DIGI+ VRM has been applied via a 8-phase power design that uses digital voltage regulators to minimize power noise by 30%, enhance power efficiency by 15%, widen voltage modulation tolerance, and improve overall  stability and longevity by 2.5 times over reference. Broaden your gaming landscape across up to six independent displays simultaneously via Display Port or DVI connectivity. Now fully certified and supported by over a 100 games.
