Talking about WATERFORCE, GIGABYTE’s liquid cooling technology, already indicates that we are facing components in which performance plays a key role. Whether in graphics cards, such as the majestic GIGABYTE RTX 4090 Aorus Waterforce, or with motherboards such as the veteran and still well-remembered GIGABYTE Z390 Aorus Xtreme Waterforce, we can already assume that we are talking about top-of-the-range in their respective markets.
As its name already indicates, WATERFORCE uses water, channeled through a circuit, which runs through the key components of the graphics card, that is, the GPU, the VRAM and the MOSFET, which as you already know are the most sensitive, in terms of reaching high temperatures, when we take the graphics adapter to its maximum performance. This makes it very easy to run your components above their default performance without compromising them.
The two graphics cards presented today are the AORUS GeForce RTX 4070 Ti XTREME WATERFORCE 12G and AORUS GeForce RTX 4070 Ti XTREME WATERFORCE WB 12G, and other common elements between both models are that they have RGB Fusion, the brand’s RGB LED lighting system, protective metal back plate, aerospace-grade PCB coating for protection against dust and moisture, ultra components first-rate durables and, beware of this, as it is an especially important detail, extended warranty for registered members. Specifically, the guarantee is four years, compared to the three that the legal regulations in Spain determine.

For users looking for maximum performance without any complications, this is undoubtedly the best proposal from this manufacturer. We find a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti that already includes, pre-assembled, both the radiator and the water cooling pump, thus avoiding that we have to do something DIY. There are many users who fear having to carry out this type of operation, so with this model, which has FEP pipes, the assembly process will be extremely simple.
Its complete refrigeration system is completed with a 240-millimeter radiator and two 120-millimeter fansthe latter with RGB LED lighting that complements the one found on the front, side and back plate of the card.

If the previous model proposed an “all-in-one” solution, here we find a model aimed at those users who especially value personalization and those who like to have maximum control over the assembly of their PC components. The AORUS WATERFORCE open-loop water-cooled system will allow us to assemble the water block and its connections according to our preferences, which can be essential for certain PC interior designs.
To provide maximum security, the system GIGABYTE proprietary technology that immediately detects any type of leak in the liquid cooling system, informing the user through an attractive system of flashing lights. This, of course, allows the user to immediately turn off the system, to avoid possible damage that could be caused by excessive temperatures in the components sensitive to this problem. Thus, this guarantees us that we will have the capacity to react in the face of this type of incident.
