GTX 700 Series DirectCU II

As always, ASUS puts a custom spin on the latest graphics, this time giving 28nm NVIDIA GeForce GTX 700 GPUs the exclusive cooling and power delivery treatment so you enjoy better gaming and overclocking. And you have more choice: ASUS offers GTX 780, GTX 770, and
GTX 760 DirectCU II graphics cards in stock and OC editions.

Tough backplate for extra protection and support for the card.

30% cooler. 3X quieter

The GTX 780 DirectCU II OC uses a 10mm heatpipe instead of conventional 8mm width. That in itself boosts heat dissipation by up to 40% compared to reference.

30% less power noise and 2.5X greater durability

Acclaimed DIGI+ VRM has been applied via a 10-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.

ASUS includes the CoolTech fan, which has twin sets of blades, combining an axial blower and a flower-type fan in one to offer wider and more consistent airflow and push more hot air out of the case quickly to keep your PC nice and cool.

20% cooler, 3X quieter

ASUS graphics card engineering leads the industry once again with the introduction of DirectCU II SSU thermal design. Comprising two “S” and one “U” shapes, the new heatpipes 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. High-conductivity copper used in heatpipe formulation creates tube-like vapor chambers, moving heat to a large aluminum heatsink that features extended fins for multiple points of dissipation. The assembly is further chilled by two high performance but carefully-tuned and sound-dampened fans for faster and quieter cooling.

30% less power noise and 2.5X greater durability

20% cooler. 2X quieter

The exclusive DirectCU II cooler has direct GPU-contact copper heatpipes to speed up heat removal, and maintains up to 20% cooler performance than reference. Its dual 80mm fans have been carefully tested to ensure minimized noise, running up to twice quieter than reference requirements.

Up to 17% lower temperatures with stable & reliable power

The expertly designed Super Alloy Power and Direct Power technology uses specially formulated alloy for key power delivery components to deliver stable and reliable power to the GPU.

The introduction of Direct Power technology allows for better flow of electrons through the PCB to ensure lower impedance while reducing PCB temperatures by up to 17%.
