If you have a nice video card, you are likely already aware how much heat they can generate. In fact, I believe my GPU is one of the reasons my room is so hot all the time. Antec comes to us with a solution, one that does not even require you to modify your card whatsoever. Instead, this is a double slot solution that implements a very basic idea.. ..suck cold air in from the outside, and blow it down towards your card. If you use the fan in reverse, it could be used to suck warm air away from the card, which may benefit you depending on your setup.
Overall, the VCool is a great product, especially since it’s very inexpensive. Using the cooler underneath, blowing air up at my card ended up taking off 4ºC off the load temps. Nothing major, but my 7800GT hits a max load of 47°C! This is a good showing from Antec, and well deserves our 9/10 and an Editors Choice award.
