ASUS GTX560Ti 448 Core DirectCU II Review
Test Setup and Overclocking
Published: 12th December 2011 | Source: ASUS | Price: £240 |
Test Setup
Our test setup for the ASUS remains identical to that on which we tested the MSI and Gigabyte versions, so this is truly a head-to-head.
ASUS GTX560Ti 448 DirectCU II
ForceWare 285.66
Intel Core-i7 950 @ 4GHz
Gigabyte G1 Assassin
Corsair AX1200W
6GB Mushkin Redline
Noctua NH-D14
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Overclocking
Although the card is, as you'll see below, not troubled by any thermal limitations, nonetheless the overclocking performance wasn't great. It's definitely better than the Gigabyte model, but nowhere near the MSI.
Temperatures
The DirectCU II cooler can easily keep the card cool. Indeed it's cooler than the already mighty MSI Twin Frozr III. Impressive stuff.

Thanks Tom for another great review. Seems like Asus is really big on these bulky coolers. I would still very much prefer MSI and Gigabyte's coolers for performance/silence and that they save a bit more space for parts and upgrades. 
I do like the DCUII cooler they keep my gtx 580's in line
i have 2 cards with the dcu ii coolers and unless you either brace them so they dont sag or have a silverstone (inverted mobo)case,,, your temps will not be anything special....
however....
if properly installed....(asus' fault not toms) you'll have a hard time hitting 60c even cf-sli'd and oc'd....
idle temps are a pedestrian 30-33c but thats idle
just my exp...
