I liked the Antec VCool. It does the job nicely, doesn’t cost too much, and looks pretty nice with those three blue LEDs. It was rather difficult to assemble the middle section to the other two sections – and it would be easy to break some tabs if you...

While the processor is getting cooler, the graphic card is just keep getting hotter and hotter. In order to bring out the needed performance, both ATI and NVIDIA’s high end graphic cards not only consume quite a lot of power, they also produce trem...

I love that VCool offers a novice who does not know too much about dissambling a heatsink from the video card but wants to keep the system cool a simple yet effective way to quickly cool the video card. The design of VCool not only keeps the video ca...

If you have a nice video card, you are likely already aware how much heat they can generate. In fact, I believe my GPU is one of the reasons my room is so hot all the time. Antec comes to us with a solution, one that does not even require you to modify...

The VCool is a rather worthy investment for someone looking to add cooling performance without physically modding and voiding the warranty of their video card. Though it does not offer near as much of a performance increase as a good after market VGA...

Antecs 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 itll run 5-10°C cooler. Does the VCool live up to its potential?...

The Antec VCool didn’t perform as well as expected on our overclocked 6800 Ultra. However, you may get better results if your case airflow isn’t up to snuff or your graphics card is equipped with lackluster cooling...

The Antec VCool runs for about $19.99 USD and is definitely worth a good look at. The cooling results turned out better than expected, especially on a passively cooled video card, Antecs claim of 5 to 15 degrees celcius turned out to be true. To...

All in all I was fairly impressed by the performance of the VCool. I like the fact it includes an adapter to make it fit in just about any system. I also thought the results showed a pretty good performance across the board. Pricing on the Antce Vcool...

Video cards are just so hot these days! Sure you could go ahead and go through the process of replacing your video cards heatsink and fan with an aftermarket one, but thats a lot of work. Why not use up some of those empy PCI slots with a VGA cooler...

Antecs website stated a five to fifteen degree drop in temperature, from using the Antec VCool, in our testing we experienced roughly a five-degree drop between the fan on its maximum speed setting and it being off. Even with this fairly significant...
