Introduction

Over the recent years we have observed that the practice of using aftermarket cpu cooler has flourished in India. Now this aftermarket cpu cooler basically comes in two flavors,i.e air and water cooler respectively. The advantage of using aftermarket cooler is to reduce processor temperature and overclocking. You all know how bad the stock coolers are.

Air coolers in most cases are cheaper than the water variant,air coolers are also hassle free,easy to use in most cases. Well I must mention that there are some advantages of water coolers too,though they are more expensive and requires some maintenance they actually perform better than most air coolers if not all.

Still air coolers are more popular amongst Indian users since they are cheaper and maintenance free.

So today we have Deepcool GAMMAXX S40 in our hand and I’m going to make review of it. Now those of you who don’t know about Deepcool I’m going to give a short intro about Deepcool, the brand was established in 1996, they used to make desktop and server coolers for ODM partners, with rapid expansion of personal computer market Deepcool expanded its business into desktop cooling products and laptop cooling accessories, today Deepcool have a wide range of cooling products of different price segment.

Introduction

Previously we had a glimpse of this card, we did a simple unboxing of this particular sample. Like I said before, this card was provided to me by Asus, so a big thanks to them once again. GTX650Ti is one of the latest offerings from Nvidia,it is based on GK106 (Kepler) chip. This card is intended to fill the gap between GTX650 and GTX660. Unlike its elder brothers GTX650Ti lacks gpu boost (Nvidia has recently released a boost variant of GTX650Ti though). This card is a direct competitor to AMD’s HD7770 and HD7790. GTX650Ti is mainly targeted for mainstream gamers,i.e the category where most gamers belong.

The card is manufactured under 28nm fabrication process and consists a total of 2.4 billion transistors. The card consists a total of 768 CUDA cores,64 texture mapping units and 16 ROP units. Reference GTX650Ti has a core speed of 925mhz and memory speed of 5400mhz where as this particular sample is factory overclocked at 1033mhz on the core and the memory is unchanged and kept at 5400mhz. The card is powered by only one 6pin pci-ex connector and has a TDP of 110w. Memory consists of 1GB GDDR5 on a 128bit memory bus.
Lets have a look at the specification below:

This is the DirectCU II TOP variant of form Asus which means its their flagship model for this particular gpu i.e GTX650Ti. Its worth mentioning that its currently the most aggressively clocked GTX650Ti out in the market.The card is equipped with powerful Direct CU II cooler which is famous for good overclocking and low temperature. The card has DIGI+VRM feature which reduces power transfer loss while increasing efficiency. Super Alloy Power technology is used on the card which means better chokes, capacitors, mosfets are used to increase the lifespan of the card. Asus has bundled their own overclocking software with this card which is known as Asus GPU Tweak,it’s a very efficient overclocking software.
