Say hi to a liquid-cooled 4890

Powercolor chills out with a speccy 4890 video card.

Taiwanese card builder Powercolor has announced a new custom liquid cooling system for AMD's HD4890 GPU.

The single slot design aimed at gamers has a water block fully covering the the memory and power regulator chips mounted on the card, and is reportedly able to reduce temperatures by up to 20ºC compared to the reference version.

The copper-based design features 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch fittings as well as captured O-rings to prevent leakage.

Core and memory speeds on the $US400 card can be clocked up to 900MHz and 1000MHz respectively, and you should be able to get your hands on the LCS HD4890 from April 16th.
