ASUS left us unsupervised with their water cooled graphics card...

The video covers Linus Tech Tips at CES 2019 exploring Asus’s dominus extreme water cooled graphics card setup. Early in the segment, the host notes the impressive concept of a water cooled GPU that does not rely on an external radiator with tubing, marking it as a novel approach in cooling technology. The teardown begins with a careful physical inspection of the card, including lifting panels, probing the water cooling loop, and identifying components like the compact pump, a protective tubing plate, and a front mounted radiator. As the host disassembles parts and tests fitment, he explains the cooling pathway, discusses the pump block configuration, and reveals how the end tanks and flow path are arranged to route coolant through the GPU and memory modules. The discussion then shifts to performance expectations, highlighting Nvidia’s overclocking limitations and Asus’s goal of more stable and sustained maximum performance, especially under hot or non-ideal room temperatures. In the conclusion, Asus is thanked for their cooperation, and the video wraps with a quick nod to the CES sponsorships and a tease of future drop tests related to partner products.
