Thread: Four graphics card cooler compared

For the PC players the graphics card is one of the most important components of the computer. Their performance is decisive for the appearance and speed of becoming increasingly sophisticated 3D software and thus determines the fun almost single-handedly.

For this reason, AMD and Nvidia are hardly Tired, persistently turning through complex and efficient structures to the power screw. Consequently, in most cases, unfortunately, a significant increase in power consumption and heat generated by the 3D accelerator, which in most series configurations to unusual, complex, and the latest in the continuous load unpleasantly noisy cooling solutions out.

Many users, however, put a huge emphasis on quiet operation of their right to flirt and servant, therefore, with the replacement of the standard cooler against a third-party model. But the market has now prepared a number of very different structures.

We have in this respect, four complete current cooling solutions for the video card looked at and compared. The first respondent is named MK-13 and comes from the house Prolimatech. This can be fitted with up to four fans bolide is clearly designed for maximum performance and is entirely caused by the Magahalems processor cooler leveled to success of the manufacturer continues to expand. A spanner in the works it would make it the Xigmatek Bifrost.

With five heatpipes direct touch technology and dual 100-mm ventilated it could happen to you. Meanwhile, bargain hunters may be at a price with two MK-13 Twin Turbo Pro-coolers from Arctic Cooling provide one. The favorable development of the Swiss is also ventilated double set, four heat pipes and high compatibility.

If you prefer compact like, could in its ideal Setsugen Scythe coolers are concluded. The Japanese has a simple 120-mm-ventilation, which between the graphics board and the heatsink is seated, however, and it promises to be very good Mitbelüftungseffekte. What cooling concepts can convince four of the will, our test shows.
