With the recent unveiling of the GeForce 9600 GPU from Nvidia, Asus has followed up with what they claim is the first the world’s first overclocking
version of it, the ASUS EN9600GT TOP
graphics card. According to Asus, Users will enjoy 10% engine clock improvements for gaming experiences with the EN9600GT
TOP/HTDI/512M; and both the ASUS EN9600GT TOP/HTDI/512M and EN9600GT/HTDI/512M
models will be soon upgraded with the newest thermal solution – the Glaciator
Fansink.

According to Asus, the integrated SmartDoctor feature will also provide users with the option to overclock the Shader Clock for even better graphical performances. With the EN9600GT TOP,
gamers can expect core, shader, and memory clock performance boosts from 650MHz
up to 720MHz, 1625MHz up to 1800MHz, and from 1.8GHz up to 2GHz respectively.
Both the ASUS EN9600GT TOP/HTDI/512M and EN9600GT/HTDI/512M are now available at RM770 and RM700 respectively.

The upcoming version of the ASUS EN9600GT Series will incorporate the Glaciator Fansink – a specially designed fansink that is able to effectively dissipate heat away from the GPU to help lower temperatures – much like real-life glacial storms. Besides this extreme cooling capacity, it is also ultra quiet with operating levels of only 25dB – almost imperceptible in a quiet room; and caters to users who require maximum cooling without excessive fan rotation noise.
The EN9600GT Series’ second version will come with several solutions including the EMI shield that reduces 66% of EMI Interference for more stable signals. The DIP Spring Chokes can also lower temperatures by 5~10oC in comparison with traditional Toroidal Coil Chokes. Additionally, the LF PAK MOS guarantees more efficient power and less heat. On top of all this, the Japan made polymer capacitors can lower power loss for more stable operations.
ASUS new SmartDoctor is an overclocking utility that is able to tweak the Shader Clock on GPUs. This application allows independent overclocking of the Shader Clock and Engine Clock without the hassles of rebooting or re-flashing of the BIOS.
