In the modding community, stock has almost become a dirty word. Now, let’s be honest; stock is not a bad thing, l mean it does what it’s supposed to do but you are never going to go that extra mile with a stock system. These days, everything can be swapped out with something bigger, faster or at least flashier. How many of you out there still have your stock hsf on your cpu? How about your video card? If stock is not good enough for your processor, what makes you think it’s good enough for your video card? Enter Spirecoolers with the CoolForce VGA chipset cooling kit. A full copper, all-in-one cooling solution to help keep your video card running nice and cool.
When we received the package for the CoolForce we discovered that it came with all the bells and whistles we have come to expect from Spirecoolers. Not only do you get a full copper led fan (yup, l said led) but they also include a tube of thermal paste, 4 copper heatsinks for your memory chipsets, thermal tape to attach said heatsinks, 4 push-pins to mount the fan on your card and just in case you can’t attach your power connector directly to the motherboard, they also include a 3 pin to 4 pin adapter so that you can plug right into your power supply. It’s the little things that really impress us with Spirecoolers and every product we see shows how much effort they put into making sure that the buyer is pleasantly surprised when they open the package.
So let’s get down to business. Here are the specs for the CoolForce straight from the Spirecooler website:
