The KuFormual VF1 VGA Cooler comes packaged in relatively small
package measuring in at 8" x 8" x 3". The reason they are able to
use such as small package is the excellent packing job they do with all
of the parts, as you can see by the picture below everything has a place
and it is carefully packed into it thus providing an ideal shipping
carton as well.
The front of the carton shows the two separate pieces of the unit,
(heatsink and fan) while the rear of the carton is used to show the
specification for the unit so you have a good idea of what the unit is
capable of prior to you spending your hard earned money on it.
The fan used on KuFormual VF1 VGA Cooler is
constructed of a metal housing that measures 3.5" long and the actual size
the fan blower is 3.25". The fan itself is made from a high-strength
plastic of some sort that allows it to flew without breaking or bending.
One thing I found very interesting was when I first looked at the fan I
thought that the gold colored round item was the motor that powered the fan,
when in actuality it a heavy weight placed on the end of the shaft to help
it stay balanced. The other thing that is rather cool is the fact the the
fan is isolate from the motor using rubber attachment points, this way the
noise level will be greatly reduced.
The photo below you can get a better view of the rubber
attachment points used to mount the motor to the fan and housing. You can
also see that the fan motor has a 2-wire lead coming from it so you will not
be able to monitor the speed of the fan with any of your monitoring software
or hardware.
Now we get to heavy duty piece of the kit that
being the heatsink itself. The main portion of the heatsink is comprised of
50 individual fins that measure 1mm x 83 mm and they are separated by 2mm of
air space, Through the fins are routed a pair of heat pipes that then
anchored back to the solid copper base of the heatsink.
