arctic-cooling VGA Silencer Review

Nvidia and ATI. Two graphics card companies with high-end cards. Nvidia on one corner with their GeForce FX, and ATI on the other with their Radeon. Two cards that have one thing in common, they dissipate some serious heat, they are hot. ATI and their Radeon have a single slot cooler that does the job (barely sometimes) and we all should know about Nvidia with their big, and loud two slot cooling solution. One of the downfalls of that design was that the fan was too loud, not the cooling concept. ATI with their Radeon 9700 Pro and above on the other hand, cooling was adequate but still a long ways to go as the cards run very hot. What about if you want something that would allow your Radeon to run cooler and overclock more while being as quiet as the stock Radeon cooling solution? Until now there hasn’t been that one solution that would allow so, except water-cooling, but that’s still a ways off in traditional computing. Well enter arctic-cooling and their VGA Silencer.
