Wonder if it actually cools any better than the normal Hsf's?


PS I never knew Sparkle even made video cards.....






:eek:

looks nice but not as neat as the alienware video cooler now that one is tight.

[Pinky]

?? That looks nice but I fail tosee how it lives up to its purpose, to cool?... since it doesn't seem to have fins or surface area for heat dissipation in the traditional sense.

[funnyperson1]

im with pinky, its looks cool, but it doesnt look too effective...

[FunkyTechnician]

Well, before we make a quick judgement, pictures from a better angle would help a great deal.

yucky! No sir, don't care for it too much. I see a lot of fancy work, but not much in the way of functional cooling. The ramsinks look like flat pieces of metal w/ a few grooves etched out. :(

Im with you guys I would yank that gpu cooler and memory heatspreader of right away and slap on a real cooler like an IU rackmount hsf......But I would test the stock cooling first just for comparison.

Ive been talking to BLaderunner over at rage3d (remember him? He made this:

Im going to try to help him make a Cusil based version of his gpu cooler and ram cooler. (if anybody calls me Cusilsinksam I'll kick your @ss :) )

I may infact go to H2o cooling after talking to him about his silent pc project:

Stealth cooling project (http://www.dwpg.com/stealth/1/)



Except Im not going to make a bomb as he did. Hes really a pretty nice guy and answered all my questions.

[CraxySerge]

That copper heat sink looks like it can do some serious cooling. Im going to build something like that for my Geforce 2 ti200. Hopefully it will gain some performance wise, if not, then i will have an impressive looking GPU cooler and show it off to my friends!!!

Its pretty, but can it dance?

[Silversinksam]

ONI,

Not only is that pretty, but I dont think they have dance shoes that will even fit this work of art :)

Seriously ask yourself this, Look at the extent Bladerunner goes to make sure it will wear out the dance shoes and keep on dancin! look at these pics(The same guy that built that Video card h20 Ram and Gpu cooler):
