Video Card Coolers and More
The video card coolers out there usually look really good, but they’re usually also fairly loud and they don’t do too good of a job at keeping your card cool really. Yes they keep the temps below the manufacturers recommendations but that’s about all they do, and they’re normally loud in the process of…
I’ve got a big ‘ol review for you today, this one has been a few weeks in the making actually, and from my time with this product I’ve found it to be easily one of the best VGA coolers on the market today. Up on the block today is the GFXChilla VGA Cooler from…
Video cards are getting more and more powerful as time goes by, and with that power comes more heat, and that heat needs to go somewhere, so that’s why we have these elaborate and sometimes ornate stock VGA cooling solutions on them.

Today I will be looking at the Vizo Sleet VGA cooler. Vizo is the maker of the well regarded Sleet line of copper chipset coolers for video cards. Realizing that cooling the video RAM was not enough, Vizo has released an all-in-one cooling solution for most graphics cards. This kit fits almost all models of…

Today for review I have something a bit different, all you do-it-yourself types are really gonna like this one, it’s a kit to make your own Heatpipe Cooler for your video card from Logisys. It’s not really sold as a kit, but it is a kit nonetheless, made to fit almost every video card…
