     With modern graphics cards containing more transistors than the fastest CPUs... Yeah, I know that I have gotten a bit bored with EVERY website telling us the same thing over and over and over again,  after each new cooler comes out for a graphics card. WE GET THE POINT! Ahem, back to my semi-sanity. So to make things sweet and simple, we all know that high-end graphics cards need the core and memory cooled- actively.

     With trends continually evolving in computer enthusiast overclocking and cooling, things change rapidly. At one point in time not too long ago, noise wasn’t a big issue as long as the overclock was as high as possible, and the system was stable. Now, of course, we view things differently. We want silence while still being able to achieve the same results. The point of my babbling? Modern graphics cards are hot and fast. Cool them silently!

            With silence being the issue, I present to you Arctic Cooling's NV5 Silencer cooler. Arctic Cooling over the years has given us many great quiet cooling products for our video cards, both ATi and nVidia alike.

     Product Description: Video Card Cooler designed for both power users and low noise environments. Warm air is exhausted directly outside the case! The heatsink has a solid copper base with aluminum thin fin design. It is cooled by a wheel-style fan that draws cool air from the case and blows it through the heatsink fins. The heated air form the heatsink is then exhausted directly outside the case, thus helping to reduce case temperatures!

     Features

  • Copper heatsink base with aluminum fin design for efficient and quiet cooling
  • Direct Heat Exhaust System - Exhausts heated air out PCI slot
  • Unique mounting clip design significantly improves the heat transfer f the GPU to the heatsink
  • Extremely quiet performance
  • Superior to 6800 Standard Cooler
  • Includes tube of thermal grease
