Axial-tech Fan Design Better, faster, strongerOriginally the result of R&D efforts for top-end ROG graphics cards, Axial-tech fan design features a smaller fan hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring that increases downward air pressure. The enhanced efficiency allows the fan to keep things cool at low RPMs, resulting in less overall system noise and increased component lifespan.0dB Technology Quiet IntelligenceTo eliminate unnecessary noise, a stop mode halts all fans when the GPU temp falls below 50 degrees and power consumption is low.Space-grade Lubricant Improved LubricityInfused with a durable lubricant often found in aerospace applications, these sleeve bearings deliver a quieter acoustic profile than dual ball bearing designs and match their durability.2.7-Slot Design Sink your Heat into ThisThe KO leverages a 2.7-slot design to gain more heatsink surface area. The extra thermal headroom increases overclocking potential and allows fans to run at even lower speeds in light scenarios.Dual BIOS Choose WiselyDo you prioritize low core temps or low noise levels? Performance mode lets the fans spin up to keep the card cool all the time. Quiet mode keeps the same power target and top-end settings, but offers a less aggressive fan curve for quieter operation at medium temps. For even more customization and control, check out our GPU Tweak II software.Auto-Extreme Technology Precision Automated ManufacturingAuto-Extreme Technology is an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. This reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption, and a more reliable product overall.Enduring Capacitors Outlast the OppositionThe KO GPU VRM features capacitors rated to last up to 2.5 times longer than the industry standard.Vented Backplate It's in the vents!The PCB is reinforced by an aluminum backplate that adds structural rigidity, helping to prevent flex and protect components and trace pathways from damage. A vent allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being cycled back into the GPU cooler.Stainless Steel Bracket Steel YourselfThe mounting bracket of the KO has been beefed up with 304 Stainless Steel that's harder and more resistant to corrosion.Unique Design Polished ShroudGold and silver faceplates laced with customizable ARGB lighting give the KO a unique aesthetic fashioned for gamers who prefer to unabashedly showcase their rig on the desktop.Aura Sync Outshine the CompetitionThe KO features Aura RGB lighting on the shroud. Aura Sync software connects compatible products for a completely customized lighting setup. You can sync to music, change color based on temperature, or select from a large number of patterns and static options. Look out for the Aura Sync logo when you're picking parts for your build.GPU Tweak II Monitor, Tweak, and TuneThe ASUS GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display. Advanced fan control is also included along with many more features to help you get the most out of your graphics card.X Split Premium StreamingXSplit offers a premium streaming experience with in-game annotations and other advanced features.
