The EVGA WATERCOOLING line includes video accelerators for enthusiasts with separate water blocks, enhanced power subsystems, advanced temperature sensors and serious factory overclocking. As usual with EVGA, all this technical splendor was created with the sole purpose of squeezing the maximum out of the most powerful graphics card in the history of mankind. For example, the GeForce RTX 2080, which is the fastest accelerator in the NVIDIA Turing generation, with a water pump from EVGA, easily took the frequency of 2200 MHz out of the box, although conventional versions of this card with traditional fans rarely crossed the 2000 MHz mark.


After the announcement of NVIDIA Ampere-based graphics cards, EVGA decided to expand the range of the WATERCOOLING series by adding models with hybrid Cooling system in the spirit of EVGA Kingpin models. A massive radiator and a separate two- or three-section liquid cooling system are simultaneously responsible for cooling these cards. Usually, EVGA engineers outsource the development of hybrid Cooling system to craftsmen from the Danish company Asetek.

Also in 2021, rare representatives of the WATERCOOLING Hydro Copper series with a low full-coverage water block arrived on store shelves. The beauty of these cards lies in their compactness: a massive GeForce RTX 3080 with a low water block is enough for one free slot in the motherboard. The cooling is not as effective as that of full-fledged CSF, so the acceleration out of the box for Hydro Copper models is not very impressive. But the backlight is gorgeous. The coolant is illuminated by an address backlight and shimmers beautifully in the spirit of lava lamps.
