Why is the Komodo-NV a superior cooling solution ?
The only true full cover water-block	The blocks cover the full length of the card and utilizes all the original circuit board mounting points; this results in superior thermal interface with all the components, but more importantly it prevents bending and/or damage to the card compared to competing solutions that leave critical components exposed for cost saving purposes; the Komodo-NV series continue this exclusive Swiftech® initiative as a true professional solution (an industry first).
Moderate flow restriction by design	The water channels have been optimized for optimum flow rate in order to take into account multiple waterblocks in the same loop; additionally, the high efficiency of the thermal design authorizes better thermal performance at low flow rates.
True Chrome Plated copper base plate	Maintenance-free, corrosion-free, discoloration-free, and a brighter whiter color: the precision CNC machined copper base plate is plated with true chrome, as opposed to commonly used nickel plating (which is yellowish).
Precision CNC machined housing	The main housing is precision CNC machined out of acrylic material.
Pre-applied thermal pads	High conductivity thermal pads and reusable high performance gap-fillers are pre-applied to the memory, VR and other components;  there is no need to waste time cutting thermal pads as is often the case with other blocks; high quality Tim-Mate™ 2 thermal grease is included with the water-block for application to the GPU area.
SLI support	Depending on your motherboard, up to four Komodo-NV GTX980-ECO waterblocks can be interconnected using Lok-Seal™ adjustable connector fittings.

The Komodo-NV GTX980-ECO is compatible with Nvidia reference PCB design PG401 for GeForce® GTX980 as well as some GTX 970 models (listed below).  The PCB revision number represents the deciding factor to go by when selecting your Swiftech product,rather than the brand and/or model number of the card. Nvidia reference design boards normally bear the Nvidia logo, with the PCB number positioned directly below it.  Please carefully inspect your card to locate the PCB revision number.

Swiftech's Komodo NV-LE GPU Block receives HITech legion Editor's Choice Award - Read More "the Komodo NV-LE exceeded all expectations in terms of performance. The gap between the Komodo NV-LE and the other blocks tested was large enough that I actually went back and remounted the other blocks to verify my findings"
