The
AeroCool Video Magic /
VM-102 does indeed work as
claimed, surprisingly
surpassing the Titan Eagle
with its fan driven cooling
solution. So what makes the
VM-102 so much better than
say the Titan Eagle?
The fact that it has two
extremely long heatpipes
doesn't hurt, this allows
them to take the heat far
enough away from the base of
the GPU before the steam
inside of the heatpipes is
returned to a liquid state
and is wicked to the to the
bottom of the pipes to start
the heat removal process
once again. The thing
that is probably key to the
VM-102 success is the 30
fins connected to the dual
heatpipes, these fins
create a huge amount of
surface area with which air
can passing over them to helps
keep the GPU at a reasonable
temperature.
The best
part of using the VM-102 is
the fact that it is absolute
dead silent! The one
small drawback to this type
of cooler is the fact that
is does use 2 slots and due
to the length of the fins it
might not fit on all
motherboards. Other
than that it should be a
perfect match for just about
every other configuration.
So if you're looking for a
truly great cooling solution
for your video card that is
easy to install (less than
15 minutes) the AeroCool
Video Magic | VM-102 is the
perfect choice for you.
Check it out and I promise
you won't regret your
choice.
