For sizzling hot graphics that won’t burn up your video card, take a look at this MASSCOOL VF1-PLUS VGA Cooler. If you’re a gamer, or you work extensively with moving images, this device is a ‘must have.’ This specialized model keeps your GPU running at much lower temps for consistent, extraordinary graphic images.
A PCI fan controller comes packaged with this exquisite model; thus, affording you the opportunity to switch the fan between 3 speed levels. This means you can catch a flick or engage in other audio-intensive PC mayhem, without the whirring noise of the fan.
Pros: Right off, I couldn't find anything to definitively tell me it was compatible with my 8800GT. I can confirm: it is!
- Configurable for many different setups, cheap, quiet. - I'm using it with an nVidia 8800GT, which was hovering around 62C (they're known and rated to run high) using the stock heatsink/fan at 60% fan speed, which sounded like an airplane. After installation of this, I'm around 52C with the fan set to the lowest setting. I turned on the highest setting so see the effect, and it is A) still quieter than the stock fan at 60%, and B) rapidly reduced the temp below 46C
Cons: - VERY big, since the fan site above the card and one fan length away from the motherboard. Not ideal for small cases, but I've got a mid tower and it fits just fine.
- No auto fan control, just the hardware switch. It would have been nice for them to include a pass-through from the controller switch to the video card, for an option to have software control the speed. For $17, I can't really complain though...

Pros: Seems to do a great job cooling Graphics card. Runs between 20 and 30 degrees F. cooler after installation.
Cons: NewEgg and manufactures site does not clearly state compatibility and case requirements. I closely checked both and could not find anyplace that clearly stated what cards it would fit, just high compatibility Nvidia Geforce and ATI Radeon Series. Needs an extra wide case, 57mm between the PCI bracket and PC case side to fit the included cross-flow fan. I thought I had a big case but not wide enough.
Other Thoughts: The included instructions list the configurations for ATI Radon 9*** ,X*** and X1 Series (600/700/800/850). Nvidia Geforce Mx and Geforce FX series (5200/5500/5600/5700/5800/5900/5950/6200/6600/6800/7800). My case was not wide enough to fit the included fan but the instructions show how to install an Axial fan to the bracket which only requires 49mm between the PCI bracket and PC case side fo a 80 x 25 mm fan.

Pros: Solid cooler with a pretty nice fan setup, low vibration and somewhat quiet. Dropped my GPU temps from 50 idle to 34 idle. On load from 80 to 58. so yea, this cooler its pretty solid. easy to install as well. took about 15 mins.
Cons: The fan mount doesnt sit right in the PCI slot, it kinda has to be tilted a bit otherwise it doesnt hit the heatsink tunnels. Another thing, on the X1950 series card you cant use the A1 brackets, it only fits the n2 brackets. took off 1 egg just for those little problems.
Other Thoughts: im not sure if i was doing it right or not, but tilting the fan mount cooled the heatsink much better than if it were straight. Also, remember to put the RAMsinks on first or they are inaccessible after you put the gpu sink on.

VF1-plus VGA cooler

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: low price, good quality high compatibility. high fan seting moves alot of air and low seting is very quiet. easy to install with diagrams as long you able to assembles IKEA furniture you can do this. droped 15C at full load on my FX 5500. used my own OCZ Freeze compound. dosent use the card power is a big plus.
Cons: Short molex conector. Uses 2 pci slot plus the vga pci slot makes 3 slot out. Better spring loaded CPU bolts would be welcomed as it still leaves the heatsink moving. fins not far enuff from card so i had to bend them so they dont make contact to some capasitors. removed side fancause it fits to tight in my 8 inch wide case could be made more compact.
Other Thoughts: for price quality ratio its a winner and it just looks very sexy itthe window will have to put some UV reactive paint on the cross draff fan realy makes it stand out.
