Antec VCool: Video Card Cooling on the Cheap @ ExtremeTech

Keeping your graphics card cool can help preserve it for a long, productive life before it inevitably fades into obsolescence with each passing year. Overclocked cards are even more susceptible to heat damage, possibly bringing the fun to a grinding halt by way of incineration.

Antec's VCool is designed to chill your GPU by taking in fresh air from the back of your case and blowing it directly onto your graphics card. They even claim it'll run 5-10°C cooler. Does the VCool live up to its potential?
