EVGA develops EVGA iCX technology, which is based on the installation of more temperature sensors distributed throughout the graphics card PCB, for intelligent temperature monitoring and management.

Graphics cards are quite delicate elements and efficient control of their temperature is very important. EVGA is one of the major brands in the graphics card market, with high-quality products that are famous for their overclocking performance and great stability. EVGA wants to improve the control of the graphics card and for that it has developed the EVGA iCX technology, which is based on the location of more thermal sensors in critical areas of the PCB.

The sensors distributed by the graphics card will send the information to the EVGA Precision software itself, an application that, among other things, will allow us to know what the temperature of the most critical areas of the graphics card is and will show it to us on the screen in a simple way . Not only that, it will also have three RGB diodes installed in the heatsink coating, which depending on their color, we will know if there is an excess temperature in the GPU, VRM or in the graphics memories.

This allows the cooling to be managed, allowing the corresponding fan to be accelerated to improve the cooling of the area that requires it. The GPU works with one fan, while the rest of the temperature-sensitive elements work with the other fan, synchronizing if necessary. The fins of the heatsinks, meanwhile, will have holes, which will allow the passage of air between them and improving the efficiency of cooling.

A very useful safety measure has been included, such as a small fuse, which does not act with voltages or currents, but cuts with temperatures. This allows that if the graph exceeds a certain temperature, it would cut and protect the rest of the elements. Here we should still send the graphics card to technical service, but the rest of the components would not suffer damage.
