Koolance VID-NX480 Full Cover SLI Ready Video Card Water Block - GeForce GTX 480 G1/4
Cons:
- Kinda pricey when you need 2 of those for a SLI system, it ends up being the price of a 3rd card almost to cool them both
Pros: - Very good cooling, dropped idle temps from 52 to 38, and load temps from 90+ to 51, even overclocked- Looks really nice with the nickel plating, lighting and... well generally good looking block- It's heaven sent to function so silently instead of those noisy GTX 480 stock fans, they were unbearable at 75+ % |

Koolance VID-NX480 Full Cover SLI Ready Video Card Water Block - GeForce GTX 480 G1/4
Cons:
Wish the thermal pads came pre cut.
Pros: High quality, provides great temps. Comment:
In my opinion it has been worth every penny. The nickel plating really shines to perfection, and the LED illumination is very eye cathing indeed. It dropped my load temps from 92 deg to 51 deg. with a large overclock not budging it either. For example 850Mhz (up from its stock 700) core only added 4 degrees. Simply amazing. Buybuybuy. |

Koolance VID-NX480 Full Cover SLI Ready Video Card Water Block - GeForce GTX 480 G1/4
Cons:
Wrong LEDs included, limited instructions.
Pros: Effective cooling solution for hot running GTX 480 Comment:
Happy with the performance: dropped my loaded temps when running furmark by around 40 degrees, and by 30 at idle. Enclosed instructions are fairly useless, so you need to know what you're doing or how to find out. Waiting to see if Koolance sends me the right LEDs, the included one fits a 2-pin instaed of the 4-pin fan power on the card. |
A really obvious upgrade for 480 cards if you already have a watercooling loop in your system, your ears will thank you very much.
