hey Ron this is steve from gamers access donna at CES 2015 we are at EVGA suite right now looking at a forthcoming kingpin card there's also a closed-loop liquid cooled 980 that we'll be looking at so these are both 980 cards the first one is the kingpin and all this coverage first is brought to you by CyberPower cyber vapor gaming PC so this kingpin card has 14 phases it's got the AC X 2 point 0 cooler and it can be converted to a single slot which is pretty cool in terms of things you can connect to there's an EV bog connector and which is an EVGA overclocking utility and then you can plug into prawns for voltage readout if you want to use a multimeter for your overclock in which you're buying something like this you probably will be doing that there are 28 pin connectors plus a 6-pin connector it's like lot more power potential than the reference 980 and the max TDP we're not quite sure what it is but we know it's more than 300 Watts so a lot of potential there for overclocking we also know that the power target percentage which I explained the Maxwell overclocking video is higher than reference but again don't have that exact number right now so for an extra dose of craziness there are actually if you're using ln2 to overclock your card there are memory heaters here that will keep the memory warm because if it's running too cool which alan 2 is capable of definitely then the memory will potentially have limits on its overclocking so there are heaters here to deal with that there's also an RGB LED and that can be controlled through EVGA precision and right here it's just cycling through all the different colors but you can customize it in precision for BIOS chips there are three physical chips on the board which is of course useful if you get locked out or break the BIOS when you're trying to hack it for a different voltage setting or something like that so this will be available in February MSRP is not yet known but check the site for more information on that and now we'll move over to the CLC GTX 980 so now we're looking at the EVGA hydro copper version of the 980 this is also not out yet and also should be shipping in February MSRP not yet known this is using an ASA Tech CLC to cool to cool the GPU so it's just using a closed loop liquid cooler that you mount the radiator I believe it is a 120-millimeter radiator you mount that's your case and it handles the GPU cool and it's got a normal squirrel cage fan on there as found on the reference design so that'll help funnel some air through the heatsink and other than that it's it's really targeted more for silence than overclocking it will overclock very well of course because it'll cool better than air and retort told it sits around 40 to 45 50 Celsius went under full load and that is that's pretty market improvement over the GTX 980 s reference cooler of course you will be paying for that in price so check links in the description below for details when we have all the pricing will tweet it out and post on Facebook and yeah that's EVGA sweet i will see you all next time you
