Vizo Propeller Graphics Card Cooler Review

Tue 2007-04-17 - Posted by Martin "Langaleer" Finbow

Summer is fast approaching, which means higher temperatures in your system case. Techware Labs have looked at the Vizo Propeller Graphics Card Cooler, which aims to keep your system nice and cool for overclocking and preparing for the summer heats, but how does it perform?:

"The Vizo Propeller is primarily a video card cooler but can be used to cool any internal computer card. Of the many video card cooling products on the market today, most are designed to increase the air flow through the case and between card and potentially out the back of the PC case. The heat that is generated by your video card's graphics processing unit can itself cause a strain on its' own components. Newer generation GPU's such as the 7900, 8800, and ATI R600 based cards will expel more heat than ever before. Think Intel Northwood and old AMD Thunderbirds here guys. Other methods of heat elimination range from purchasing additional case fans (which in the end makes your case sound like a small Learjet), to higher priced water blocks."
