ABIT Siluro GF4 Ti4200 OTES Declared Innovative by OCWorkbench

Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., October 3, 2002 - The VGA Card Revolution is taking the hardware community by storm. This time, ABIT's new Siluro GF4 Ti4200 OTES was subject to a battery of tests by the folks at OCWorkbench. With its revolutionary heatpipe technology and superior design, OCWorkbench saw it fitting to award the Siluro GF4 Ti4200 OTES with their coveted Innovation Award.

OCWorkbench first explains what makes OTES Technology so effective: "The heatpipe is the heat transferring device that transfers the heat away from the GPU to the Fin Heatsink. The GPU Fan used is a high speed blower rated at 7200 RPM with side airflow effects to intake air from the top of the GPU to exhaust heat entirely from the board…The cover enclosing the fan is a plastic cover on board which forms a vacuum sealed environment inside. It's own pressure removes heat completely from the board."

What does this mean for the hardcore gamer? Lower operating temperatures and enhanced performance: "Knowing that the ram is a 3.6ns, it is possible to reach at least a 277(DDR555) Mhz, we increased it to 300(DDR600) and see if things are OK. Well it went smooth without any problems…we see a stable performance in Q3 when we overclock it to 310/600. An impressive 8% performance jump from the default setting of 274.5/553.5. In fact, if we were to compare to other GF4 Ti4200s which run at 250/500, the performance gain would be more impressive. A possible 15% increase should not be too difficult to obtain."

Overall, OCWorkbench was impressed with the Siluro GF4 Ti4200 OTES: "The performance of this card is pretty good especially if you are looking for a nice looking, all-in-1 feature packed card… It's pretty easy to reach similar levels of performance of the GF4 Ti4400 or close to a Ti4600 through overclocking the card's core and memory. The heatsink pipe helped to stab
