Vortexx NEO
Currently, the video card is probably the hottest piece of hardware in most brand new computers, and I am not talking about the good-looking coolers or the LEDs added by some producers to their cards' fans. The problem is heat. Obviously, this becomes a really dangerous issue for those overclocking their cards, so today I will tell you about a custom cooling solution designed to do its job well, and to look great, at the same time!
The Akasa Vortexx NEO VGA cooler(pictured above), sporting two copper heatpipes, is a SLI and Crossfire ready cooling system that features a 70 mm sleeve bearing fan working at 2500rpm. Despite this, Akasa claims the Vortexx NEO is a very quiet cooler, and the 290 gr heavy system can be easily installed by anyone, thanks to the fact its design allows tool-free installation.
The list of compatible cards is pretty long,and starts about two graphics cards generations ago, with the Radeon X1800, X1900, continues with the Radeon HD 2600 XT (GDDR4), 2900 Pro/XT, and arrives to the latest HD 3850, HD 3870 cards from ATI, while the Nvidia boards supported include the "oldies" GeForce 6800, 7800, and 7900, as well as the fresh G92-powered 8800 GT and GTS 512, plus the 9600 GT and 9800 GTX.
