New ZOTAC® GeForce® GTX 580 Infinity Edition and ZOTAC Omni deliver water-cooled graphics and water-cooling upgrade solutions for demanding gamers

ZOTAC® International, a leading innovator and the world’s largest channel manufacturer of graphics cards, motherboards and mini-PCs, today unveils two new water-cooling solutions – the GeForce® GTX 580 Infinity Edition and ZOTAC® Omni for gamers that demand a water-cooled graphics card or want to upgrade their existing graphics card with water-cooling.

“As graphics processors become more powerful, greater cooling performance is a necessity which typically results in greater noise levels. To combat the heat and noise levels, water-cooling is an excellent solution,” said Carsten Berger, marketing director. “By equipping the ZOTAC® GeForce® GTX 580 Infinity Edition with a water-cooler, we were able to reduce temperatures by over 25-percent and produce lower noise levels.”

Gamers with existing ZOTAC® GeForce® GTX 580, GTX 570 and GTX 480 graphics card can opt for the ZOTAC® Omni water-cooling upgrade kit. The ZOTAC® Omni kit includes the self-contained water-cooling solution and everything a gamer needs to water-cool reference-design GeForce® GTX 580, 570 and 480 graphics cards.

Im so excited for this! but I am concerned about, how will you use more then one or two in ur system if you have something like the corsair or antec ALC for ur cpu?

This does not allow you to connect two or more rads together so its able to stack, seeing how most cases now have a 200MM side fan a 140/120 mm rear exaust fan, and two top or 1 top 200mm fans for exaust and as well as 1x 200mm fan in the front.

Either way though I been waiting for this, im amazed.

You are correct, each GTX 580 Infinity would require its own 120mm fan mount.

Yea... Its really hard to find a up to date case with latest tech with more then 1x 120MM FAN wich is always used for the rear exaust. Id love to give a shot at getting it 4way sli'ed in a coolermaster haf x for sure though =P Id love to stress these bad puppys to the max folding and see how they do.

Would the cooler work with an ASUS GTX 570 DirectCUII? It's a non reference PCB.
