On the 21st of October, Thermal Grizzly unveiled the TG x CENS LN2 Container which is specifically designed for extreme overclocking in graphics cards. The new cooling solution caters to the segment of extreme overclockers who require precision in thermal management for their liquid nitrogen cooled solutions. This cooling solution is meant for gamers who are interested in keeping their performance consistent at extremely low temperatures. This new product will resolve the hardware requirements of the users.
Co-developed with Clemens Nuessler, the container supports AMD and NVIDIA GPUs
The new TG x CENS LN2 container will support both AMD & NVIDIA's discrete graphics cards. The product was co-developed with the overclocking champion Clemens 'CENS' Nuesslers to maintain the stability of professional grade. The product is designed to consistently press the GPU core under extreme cooling circumstances.
Specifications
- Operating Temperature: -196°C
- Base Material: Precision-machined copper with ultra-thin nickel plating
- Mounting System: Spring-loaded for stable GPU core pressure
- Compatibility: AMD and NVIDIA discrete graphics cards
The LN2 container features a precision-milled copper base with a super thin nickel plating. It is equipped with a spring-loaded mounting mechanism that will keep the pressure steady on the GPU core while in cooling operation. It offers controlled cooling down to -196 degrees C, so you can experience consistent extreme overclocking.
The TG x CENS LN2 container is priced at 599.90 EUR ($669 approx) in the European market. The price tag showcases the development efforts & materials used for this cooling solution. Extreme cooling enthusiasts can leverage a single-platform for their high performance GPU setups.
wait so this is just a copper block for liquid nitrogen now 🤔
Does the spring-loaded mechanism account for the thermal contraction variance between the copper base and the nickel plating when dropping to -196C? I am worried about stress fractures on the dielectric.
The press release highlights the ultra-thin nickel plating specifically to mitigate that exact friction issue. It is designed to maintain stable pressure on the GPU core without shearing the die. The precision machining aims to keep the interface uniform throughout the extreme temperature drop.
Cool engineering but I want to see actual clock deltas on an RTX 4090 with this versus a standard LN2 pot. Without benchmark data it is just a fancy paperweight.
Six hundred and sixty nine dollars for a copper box is steep. I would prefer to spend that on a better standard cooler instead of betting on a niche cooling method.
honestly just glad someone is making dedicated tools for the insane overclockers instead of ignoring them entirely
AMD and NVIDIA support is good but we need to know if the contact plate is shaped for the newer IHS designs or just the older flat dies.
