Scythe has introduced the Setsugen SCVSG-1000 VGA cooler, this model features four heatpipes, a M.A.P.S. (Multiple Airflow Pass-Through Structure) aluminum heatsink, and a slim 120mm fan with fan controller. The Setsugen is compatible with many ATI and NVIDIA graphics cards, including the Radeon HD 5800 cards and the single-GPU GeForce GTX 200 series cards.
Setsugen is the second VGA Cooler from Scythe which adopts the M.A.P.S. (Multiple Airflow Pass-Through Structure) fin structure from the famous Mugen 2 CPU Cooler to further optimize the airflow of the supplied Slip Stream Slim 120 mm fan. Thanks to the integrated fan controller, users may adjust the fan speed to match their airflow and noise level requirements. New and innovative mounting mechanism allows flexible adjustment of mounting bracket fitting all current VGA Cards.

Nice and compact which most aftermarket air coolers aren't. If it works decently it should find a good place in the market.
