EVGA Geforce GTX 780 with ACX Cooling (Active Cooling Xtreme)
Win a chance to exchange your EVGA Geforce GTX 780 ACX graphics card with a new EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 iCX Technology graphics card. On this edition of EVGA's Rewind Reward, we take a look back at EVGA Active Cooling Xtreme cooling solution for the EVGA 700 series.
EVGA’s ACX cooler, with its double ball bearing fans, redefined traditional enthusiast coolers. Starting with a 40% increase in heatsink volume, EVGA ACX was more efficient at dissipating heat, allowing for up to 15% lower GPU temperatures over traditional coolers. The baseplate was designed to reinforce and maintain a straight PCB, and also helped lower MOSFET temperatures by 7% and memory temperatures by 15%.
We also ensured that even the fan blades were of the highest quality. When compared to competitor’s dual-fan designs, EVGA ACX’s fans exhibited 700% greater strength and 25% lower weight. This resulted in the fans being 20% more efficient, requiring lower power levels. Of course, we also featured double ball bearing fans, which offered a 12 year lifespan - 4X longer when compared to competitors!
Our ACX Cooling was an innovative solution to keeping your graphics cards cool and quiet, and the successor to our ACS cooling solution.
EVGA Geforce GTX 1080 with iCX Technology
With the growth of PC gaming, it is important to provide "Peace of Mind Gaming" to the user. With EVGA’s new iCX Technology, users can have a better understanding of their card’s operation. 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 9 additional sensors embedded on the PCB, a newly designed die-cast baseplate and backplate, purposefully-directed airflow chambers, and full control using EVGA Precision XOC, EVGA’s iCX is the very definition of Interactive Cooling.
