Today we want to present to You the graphic cards water cooler MAGNUM. For already existing Water cooling systems this is a very useful extension. Since graphic cards übertakten comes more and more to fashion. Today modern graphic cards are small cooker plates and ask for good cooling, besides, the background noise should be kept naturally low.


The cooler MAGNUM is complete from copper and very well processes. The connections are laid out for 10 mm of hoses.

Technical characteristics

- Size: 40 x 44 x 30 mm
- Material: 100% Copper
- Connections: 10mm
- Attachment distance: 45 - 55 mm




The cooler, screws and Silmore Thermal Grease belongs to the extent of supply. Inarticulately why no cable binders or hose clamps are to be thought in the extent of supply. If extra money and cable binder costs again now are, really, cent articles.




In the processing there was to criticize nothing, the base plate is polished very well. The cooler did a high-quality impression. The cooler fits also to GeForce4, if the card have 4 holes.




Montage

First you must remove the old graphic cards cooler and clean the GPU. Afterwards new Thermal Grease apply and set up the cooler.






The screws by the drillings are and evenly pull. The plastic nuts are to be prevented for the bottom probably around damages in the graphic card. The complete assembly of the cooler lasts only few minutes and should represent no problem.


Test & System

- ASUS V7700
- 256 MB DDR RAM
- CPU Water Cooler
- 420 W Power Supply Chiftech
- CS2001 BigTower
- No additional case fans for the test


Was tested with an ASUS V7700, the temperatures were selected with the tool ASUS "Smartdoctor". Around an optimal heat development became to reach the Benchmark 3DMark 2001 SE applies. 3DMark had to graduate 50 rounds. Then the temperature was checked immediately!

The values might speak certainly for themselves! The ventilator had to turn under load with approx. 6500 U/min to cool around the graphic card. 50 round 3DMark could hardly impress the water cooler MAGNUM.


Result

The VGA cooler MAGNUM is suitable for Silent Freaks just as for Overclocker. Graphic cards are cooled optimal and noiselessly. For the offered performance and quality the price of approx. 53 Euros is measured.
