  • My inner engineer loves this thing. Beyond the fact that it works really well, it looks good too. Its a classic case of a design where form follows function. Its round because the fan is (naturally...) round, its made out of copper because copper co...

  • Aftermarket VGA coolers have been around for quite awhile. Most of the stock coolers included with cards today are work quite well. Sure they all have their flaws but they will allow for some modest overclocks. Some will allow for hefty overclocks but ...

  • Abstract:  ATIs X1k series of graphics cards are certainly a powerful solution for gaming, however whether purchasing a X1900XT or the older X1800 - the coolers are some of the loudest we have heard in our labs. We made it very clear to ATI that their noisy cool...

  • Relatively good cooling performance!, Toolless installation!
  • High cost, Lack of spare parts in the package.

  • Great performance, Fan controller, Quiet, Easy to mount, Fits most cards
  • None this far
  • The numbers really show that this is a great product, and I can admit that the noise is ALOT lower than on a stock cooler. That is what I expected but I also saw a huge performance difference and with a lower temperature on the card you get more stabil...
