Anidees RGB VGA Cooler Adds Airflow and Bling to Your Graphics Card

[btarunr]

Anidees released the RGB VGA Cooler, which isn't strictly what its name means - it isn't a replacement to your graphics card's cooling solution, but rather a supplement. You install it on a slot below your graphics card, and it boosts airflow to it. The accessory takes up two expansion slots in your system, needs at least a PCIe x4 slot (for leverage, not power), and fastens into your case like any add-on card.

A shroud on the accessory suspends three 80 mm fans that each spin at speeds of up to 1,600 RPM, pushing 11.14 CFM of air, at a noise output of 19.3 dBA. You control the speed and lighting of the fans through an included RF remote control. You can additionally control it via software by plugging the cooler to a 4-pin fan header on your motherboard (just for its PWM signal). It relies on a SATA power input as its main source of power. You can also synchronize the lighting of the three fans by plugging it to a standard 3-pin ARGB header, to control it via popular RGB software that support the standard. The Anidees RGB VGA Cooler measures 30 cm in length, and is about 2 slots thick. It weighs 560 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Could be useful since I have an universal VGA waterblock; to cool the VRM heatsink.

well yeah maybe, but this is hardly the first product of its type

Exactly. I have a DIY solution from ebay already which houses 2x 80/92mm fans, I just mean that there's lot of solutions like this, but this is the first which totally looks cool.

I can see the meeting at Raijintek:

"...just RGB the shit out of it..."

Cool, now create a single slot version also, might be helpful for some people with vertical graphics cards if their case has triple vertical slots.

I have an old single slot version of something like this from 15 years ago. I don't know what kind of system where this would be useful. I have tried mine in restrictive cases and cases with lots of airflow. It never made an affect on temps. I think I later zip tied the thing to a heatsink.

Would it have killed them to go 92mm?

Anyhow, whoever is buying this (possibly me, who am I kidding...) would get it for the bling rather than the cooling and noise provided by the 3x80mm...

would love to see review from a good reviewer.... could imagine "temps didn't change" "noise went up" and we are back in 2002 using 80mm fans *facepalm ... but they are RGB so must be 2019 *otherhandpalmsface

I really like how they have 3 fans blowing on a blower fan GPU.... so it is doing what? adding a little more air for the one fan but not really well and then blowing air onto a plastic housing.

even in a 3 fan design GPU cooler this doesn't make sense, blowing air onto a fan that is blowing air onto a heat sink? why?? seems like a lot of blowing of air that is just being disturbed but serving no real purpose, I almost feel like it might blow air away and could make temps worse?

LOL wrong layout in presentation. Good that the fans can turn! The GPUs shown draw air from the outside and blow it in ! I prefer liquid cooling with a block not RGB ! And it is at the expense of RGB that the fans lost at least 1 cm of work space !
