Worried about how effectively that stock cooler is handling your latest graphics card? 3DVelocity check out a VGA cooling kit from Jetart that looks good and works like a charm.
It's tempting to assume that just because a manufacturers sells a graphics card with a particular cooler fitted that it's perfectly capable of doing its job, but we also need to remember that most cards these days are based on original reference designs, and these tend to put a lot of emphasis on low noise, low weight, small size and reduced manufacturing costs, but not necessarily great cooling. This is why so many aftermarket coolers perform better and, in some cases, look better too.
