welcome to Jays two cents exclusive insider coverage of CES 2014 our trip this year is brought to you by aqua tuning your global source for PC modding and cooling components and by Sennheiser the pursuit of perfect sound and of course by generous viewers like you so strap in with Jays two cents as he takes you on a wild ride through CES 2014 you guys have been asking about 290x custom cooling solutions and gigabyte has certainly gotten you covered there there windforce cooler design is something that's not new to the market but it's always been a very tried-and-true proven method of air cooling graphics cards from gigabyte so what you can see right here is a whole array of graphics cards that look exactly the same that's because they have a cooler that works so good but they're not really changing up the design but they are adding it to graphics cards and one of those being specifically D 290x which well right here what we're looking at right here now the 290x you guys know runs really really high and the wind force is a very good cooler when it comes to keeping it nice and cool and keeping the volume levels down but one of the things that they've integrated here with the wind force I'm getting close to my cameraman can see this is the fins on this on the cooling solution are actually angled so not only are you dealing with a nice giant heat sink which is very beefy and is actually a good amount of weight to this you are also dealing with channelled airflow so you're getting maximum airflow through the heat sink which of course means maximum cooling there's a lot of copper heat pipes in this thing keeping this thing nice and cool now no it does not come with a backplate on the back but you know the cooler is beefy but I don't feel like it's putting any major torque on there so this particular graphics card we're looking at is the r9 - 9 x OC 4 gigabyte it is a 1040 megahertz core clock okay so maybe AMD is not your flavor maybe you're an Nvidia fan well they've got you covered here with Nvidia as well we have got the 760 OC it's a 4 gigabyte model right there nice full-length PCB with the same wind force coolers you've come to expect from gigabyte you've got the and 70 the 780 and of course these 780ti gigahertz edition 3 gigahertz card right there yes you heard me right 780ti gigahertz edition running at 1,000 65 megahertz and 1150 megahertz comes with a really nice backplate cooling all of your VRMs you've got a lot of a lot of copper heat pipes and of course the same tried and tested and proven gigabyte wind force cooling solutions with the same angled fins on there so guys if you're shopping for a graphics card make sure you take a look at a gigabyte here they've got your wind force cooler keeping things nice and cool allowing for massive overclocks as well as a very stable solid performance guys have been Jays 2 cents bring me coverage inside CES 2014 make sure you check out all our videos and follow us on Twitter for the latest up-to-date news on what's happening here in CES as always I will see you guys in my next video
