Zitat: I have to say that this product did surprise me with its cooling power. I´m guessing that it won´t be the same for everyone. I found that the fan did make a fairly impressive amount of noise. With top-range GFX cards, I don´t think that the cooling performance will be anywhere as impressive as the results that we see here. All the same, I´m impressed with this product and it gets a well deserved 7 out of 10.

Zitat: Pros: Looks very cool Does lower temperatures a few degrees Easy installation Quiet Cons: Is not as effective as a VGA heatsink The VCool is a rather worthy investment for someone looking to add cooling performance without physically modding and voiding the warranty of their video card. Though it does not offer near as much of a performance increase as a good after market VGA heatsink, it does a fairly good job and does reduce temperatures to some extent. Good looks, extremely easily installation, and quality construction make the VCool a great purchase for the not so hardcore “Do-It-Yourselfer.”

Zitat: In einem kleine PC-Gehäuse ist der Vcool nützlich, damit sich die warme Luft nicht anstaut. Allerdings belegt der Zusatzkühler gleich zwei freie Steckplätze unter dem VGA-Slot und auch der Preis von 20 Euro ist relativ hoch.

Zitat: All in all I was fairly impressed by the performance of the VCool. I like the fact it includes an adapter to make it fit in just about any system. I also thought the results showed a pretty good performance across the board. Pricing on the Antce Vcool is very reasonable and just under $18 US shipped for the complete fan kit. Not bad when you consider the plan black PCI Slot fans from the old days were only several dollars cheaper and were no where near the quality of these. One thing I didn´t
