The radeon r9 390x could be water cooled

As we've known about AMD's most powerful future graphics card today, the Pirate Islands-based Radeon R9 390X will use a hybrid air-water dissipation system to keep temperatures under control.

From the filtered image, the cooling system is very similar to that used in the R9 295X2 with the difference that it will only have to cool one GPU and therefore the fan has been moved to the side.

3 weeks ago Asetek announced that it was working on a new cooling system for a graphics card and that it would arrive in early 2015, so it would be the system used in the AMD card.

Press Release:

Thursday, August 14, 2014 - Asetek® today announced that it has secured a design win with an undisclosed OEM customer for a graphics liquid cooling product. The ambitious project is forecasted by the customer to result in 2 - 4 million dollars of revenue. Shipping is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2015. The design win continues Asetek's success in the growing graphics liquid cooling market.

A water cooling system should ensure good operating temperatures on the card but this server is concerned that a monoGPU card already needs to be water cooled as this would mean that the consumption and heat generated by the GPU is not they are precisely low.
