Thermaltake Giant II VGA Cooler Review

Dom · Jun 19, 2003, 03:00 PM

Thanks to board member Silverfox for brining this to my attention.

Graphics card cooling has become more important over time as core and memory speeds have continued to rise. Several advances in GPU chipset architecture have mitigated this but the need remains. As such, more and more VGA coolers have come to market with the same gusto as CPU coolers. One of the most interesting of the newer VGA cooler designs is the “sandwich” style cooler. The first of these was put out by Zalman as a passive cooling solution for those seeking silent performance. Thermaltake has now got into the act with their own “sandwich” cooler but this one is an active cooler meaning it has a small fan to assist in heat dissipation. Let’s see how good a job Thermaltake has done with what they style the Giant II cooler. Special thanks go to Kenny and Flora at Thermaltake for making this review possible.

The review isn't at NeoSeeker at all, it's at Overclocker Cafe. Does this mean that NeoSeeker gets hits for other sites' work?
