Topic:  Cooling
Product:  Titan Eagle Universal VGA Cooler
(TTC-CSC82TB(DIY)
Provided by: Titan Computer Company
Reviewer: Kevin Elliott

The Titan Eagle Universal VGA Cooler arrived at our door packaged in such a manner that it took me the better part of 5 minutes to get to the clamshell package inside.  Titan had done such a great job packaging the product that it kind of reminded me of one of those Russian puzzles where you take the lid off and there is one more piece of the puzzle to take apart inside of it.  Needless to say I felt like the Energizer Bunny when I finally got to the unit itself, but it was worth the wait.

 
 
 

I was immediately surprised at how expensive looking the Eagle Cooler was, the shiny gold finish on it gave it a very pricey look and from the heft of the package I could tell that the unit had some parts that were made of metal and not all plastic.  Looking through the clamshell I could also see that the Eagle comes with eight - square ram sinks to help cool  memory modules in an attempt to gain a few MHz before we start seeing artifacts.

The rear of the package lists the features for the Titan Eagle in nine different languages as well as providing all of the specifications and a complete listing of all of the video cards that the cooler fits.  This information will be quite handy for those that will be buying this unit at say a Best Buy or CompUSA where they can actually see that it will fit the card they have at home.

 
 

Measuring the Titan Eagle we found it to be 135mm wide from tip to tip on the widest points of the wings and 40mm thick from front to back.  The copper contact surface measures 30mm across and it extends 13mm up from the mounting bracket. The 80mm diameter fan sets 4mm above the 64 aluminum fins which are spaced at 4mm at the tips.

 
 

The finish on the base of the Titan Eagle was found to be nearly perfect, there were no noticeable machining marks nor scratches or blemishes anywhere on the contact surface.  The surface was not a perfect mirror finish which was to our liking since we feel that anything other than a soft reflection might be counter-productive and actually reflect heat back onto the processor.
