BFG TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES FASTEST AVAILABLE GEFORCE GTX 280 GRAPHICS CARD

Lake Forest, IL – (June 16, 2008) – BFG Technologies®, Inc., the leading North American and European supplier of advanced NVIDIA-based 3D graphics cards, power supplies, and other PC enthusiast products, announced today the BFG NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 280 H2OC™ 1GB graphics card, which is the fastest factory overclocked board available.

The BFG GeForce GTX 280 H2OC 1GB graphics card with ThermoIntelligence water cooling solution offers exceptional thermal performance in a single slot design. Co-developed by BFG and Danger Den™, the ThermoIntelligence® custom copper water block is totally silent and allows the GTX 280 GPU to be factory overclocked to the highest stable level—delivering up to a 52°C lower GPU operating temperature than reference cooling solutions.

“BFG has a long and successful track record of providing high quality water cooled solutions for enthusiast level graphics cards”, said John Malley, senior director of marketing for BFG Technologies. “Leveraging Danger Den’s proficiency in block design and manufacturing with BFG’s award-winning overclocking expertise, we’ve put together a GTX 280 solution that provides incredible performance in a silent, single-slot solution.”

The pre-attached ThermoIntelligence copper water block replaces the standard double slot GTX 280 cooling solution for those who currently own or are purchasing a PC water cooling system. Micro fittings are also included to support 2-way or 3-way NVIDIA SLI configurations.
