EVGA this week has launched its all new ICX technology, which will serve as an upgrade to its ACX graphics card cooler. ICX makes use of additional sensors on the graphics card PCB and a newly designed diecast baseplate and backplate with directed airflow chambers to give users more ways to monitor temperatures and manage heat.
EVGA created this to give users more control over the GPU cooler, which could be particularly advantageous to overclockers as they can get a more accurate reading of temperatures across the PCB and fine tune cooling performance as they go.
Here is the full feature set from EVGA:
- EVGA iCX Has 9 Thermal Sensors and Multiple MCUs – All 9 sensors can be display in EVGA Precision XOC and OSD.
- Asynchronous Fan Control – Separate left/right fan control including fan curve
- A New and More Efficient Way to Cool – GPU fan determined by GPU temperature. (Left Fan) Power/Memory fan determined by Power/Memory temperature. (Right Fan)
- Full Control with EVGA Precision XOC – Each sensor can be monitored in real time and displayed in PXOC OSD.
- Interactive Cooling with Thermal LED Display System – User customized RGB color and visual alarm settings
- Optimized Airflow Fin Design – Fin holes direct airflow through fins. Half open fin maximized airflow and L-Shaped fins increase surface contact
- Die Cast and Form Fitted Baseplate and Backplate – Makes direct contact with all vital components. Maximize heat dissipation with increased surface area on baseplate.
- Peace of Mind Gaming – An EVGA ONLY fuse adds another layer of protection to your card and system.
ICX cooling will debut on a refresh of EVGA's current graphics card line-up, so all current FTW and Super Clocked cards will now be known as FTW2 and SC2 for the entire GTX 10-series. If you already own an EVGA 10-series GPU, then you will be able to ask for an upgrade from your ACX model to an ICX one, but it will cost you $99 to do so.
KitGuru Says: All in all, this seems like an interesting way to upgrade a GPU cooler. It will be interesting to see how it performs and how well the software-side works when we can get our hands on an ICX card.
A response to the earlier EVGA overheating VRM debacle methinks lol. Charging $99 means it will likely cost the same amount in Euros or Pounds if the option is given at all because of that special exchange rate that exists in the PC world. But then again how many people are that interested in that level of temperature monitoring and control? For god’s sake does anyone build gaming PC’s to play games any more or just to partake in advanced analytics.

Say those letters all together now
What did I miss lol?
so charge more for something that was poorly done in first place, while EVGA is top rank for RMA service, you think to prevent them RMA they would have very thoroughly tested the cooling system to begin with, I guess not, VRM cooling is far far more important than just ensuring the core stays cool, far from the first maker who does barely capable enough cooling on the card, though of course charges a premium for the product delivered.
The customers have to suffer downtime for something that should be “premium” especially for the price is anything but obviously, cant even handle its own temperature output, would expect better from Ngreedia allowing this to happen from a tier1 OEM LOL who am I kidding, the only thing they care about is it lasts till warranty period, even if die a day or 2 after running out of spec, they dont care, they made $$$$$$$$$

icx (ISIS)
Marks and Spencer in the UK have a toiletry range called ISIS, I kid you not. I worked there over Christmas and thought of all the bottles of ISIS invading our homes.
LOL
