ASUS equipped the new ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum graphics card with its own dual-slot, dual-fan cooler. It features CoolTech fan technology, which combines axial and radial approach in one single fan in order to move more air over the heatsink at the same noise level and apart from that increase cooling efficiency. The first, or precisely, the right side fan is the standard one which provides directional airflow which is combined with the second, left side hybrid fan. The fans are in charge of cooling the hefty heatsink which features one 10mm direct-contact copper heatpipe and two 6mm, and should, according to ASUS, provide up to 30 percent cooler operation compared to reference cooled graphics cards. The ROG GTX 760 Striker Platinum also comes with an aluminum back plate which should keep the backside cool as well as provide more structural ridgidity to the entire graphics card. In order to make the looks even more special, there the cards name plate features a backlight that shimmers in different colors depending on GPU load.
The ASUS ROG GTX 760 Striker
Platinum graphics card, or to be precise our sample of
it, allowed a maximum stable overclock of 1319 MHz
for the GPU and 1651 MHz on the memory side. We
used Furemark V1.11.0 Geeks3D benchmark with 15 minutes duration. With these
clocks we had to feed the GPU with 1.21 Volts and the memory ran at stock
voltages.
The custom PCB features ASUS' DIGI+ 8-phase with Black Metallic Capacitors, concrete-core chokes and hardened MOSFETs, in order to ensure high stability. The custom PCB is not the only feature on the new GTX 760 Striker as it also comes with the ROG color-coded LED LOGO which shows GPUs load level as well as the ASUS' ROG Edition GPU Tweak which gives you precise control over GPU clock frequency, VRM and the cooler.

The memory chips used on the GTX 760 Striker are made by SKhynix and carry the model number H5GQ2H24AFR. They are specified to run at 1502 MHz (6008 MHz effective) which is a default frequency and there is no overclocking on the memory part, simply because ASUS used 4096MB of memory instead of 2048 MB, as the higher capacity memory usually mean lower overclocking possibility.
