KOMODO-HD6900

Tab 1

• True full cover waterblock:  the block covers the full length of the card and utilizes all the original circuit board mounting points; this results in superior thermal interface with all the components, but more importantly prevents bending and/or damage to the card compared to competing solutions that leave critical components exposed for cost saving purposes; this exclusive Swiftech® initiative is an industry first.
  
  
• Superior thermal performance at the GPU level thanks to our embedded 0.6x0.6mm thin-pin matrix located directly above the GPU area;
  
  
• Moderate flow restriction by design to take into account multiple water-blocks in the same loop;
  
  
• Chrome plated copper base plate, as opposed to commonly used nickel plating (which is yellowish);
  
  
• Precision machined durable black acetal housing;
  
  
• High thermal conductivity grease pads already pre-applied in the memory areas;  
  
  
• Power mosfets are in direct contact with the cold plate for vastly superior heat transfer (non conductive Arctic Ceramique thermal compound included).
  
  
• Exclusive adjustable standoff and removable VRM cold plate assure compatibility with all Radeon™ 6970 and 6950 2Gb reference models.
  
  
• Compatible with the stock Radeon™ back-plate when present.

1. Radeon™ HD 6970 - Reference designs

Differences affecting the design of the Komodo™ cooling solution are: Power component areas (1) mounting hole position is slightly different (north of VR components) The Main body of the Komodo™ HD 6900 is compatible with both revisions; two removable VR plates are available to fit the power component areas. An adjustable standoff provides compatibility with both cards.   Two versions of the waterblock are offered to provide compatibility with these cards, and the corresponding VR plates are also available for sale separately for upgrade purposes; part numbers are Komodo™ HD6900 for the initial PCB release, and Komodo™ HD6900-2 for the new PCB revision.
