Do you have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 video card and want to have it run cooler and quieter but don't want to make the jump to water cooling? Then you're in need of an aftermarket air cooler. Today, we are looking at one such option from GELID Solutions, the Icy Vision VGA cooler. Join us as we put it on our GTX480 and see how it well it can handle the heat.

The Gelid Icy Vision video card cooler weighs in at a scant 465g and that is significantly lighter then the water blocks we recently looked at. The Icy Vision has twin 92mm UV reactive fans. The fans push 67.214CFM at 2000 RPM and humming along at a quiet 26dBA, which is a far cry better then the almost 70dBA that we have seen from the stock cooling fan. Looking from the side the Icy Vision is thick, really thick. From the base to the top of the fans is 52mm, or roughly 2 inches. That is .75 inches or 19mm taller than the stock GTX480 cooler..
