They just give me the sensation of "cheesy" vendor which I wouldn't want to touch. And that's it.Īnd reasons why I just don't trust EVGA is all the stupid nonsense they've made like asking consumers to manually add thermal pads (why did I pay 600€ for graphic card, if I have to fix YOUR bad engineering!?). For that, you only need to know GPU temperature and VRM temperature (which is not even needed if VRM cooling is engineered properly). 15 sensors will also only be useful to really hardcore overclockers who do LN2 or DICE and totally pointless for casual overclockers. Adding extra sensors and separate fan control logic is not only stupid and costs more, it also adds extra layer that can fail and get broken. Even when I push it hard in overclocked state. I mean, my current ASUS Strix 980 runs fans in sync and it's so stupendously quiet it doesn't even matter. If cooler is designed efficiently, fans running synchronously not only costs less because it runs at same speed, but also cool more efficiently because the faster fan is not interfering with the flow of the slower spinning one. Async fan control and "new more efficient way to cool" is totally stupid. I often call things "unnecessarily over-engineered".

A New and More Efficient Way to Cool - GPU fan determined by GPU temperature.Asynchronous Fan Control - Separate left/right fan control including fan curve.EVGA iCX Has 9 Thermal Sensors and Multiple MCUs - All 9 sensors can be display in EVGA Precision XOC and OSD.
With EVGA iCX technology, a new era of PC gaming is coming.ĮVGA iCX Technology is not JUST a Cooler. This includes temperature monitoring on key components (not just GPU), interaction with other devices and better cooling with asynchronous fan control providing better overclocking capabilities.
With EVGA's new iCX technology, users can have a better understanding of their cards operation. With PC gaming growing, it is important to provide "Peace of Mind Gaming" to the user. With 9 additional sensors embedded on the PCB, a newly designed diecast baseplate and backplate, purposefully directed airflow chambers, and full control using EVGA Precision XOC, EVGA's iCX is the very definition of Interactive Cooling. Featuring a total of 11 global patents (pending and granted), iCX from EVGA is efficiency perfected.
