Viva la cooling! Or so we hope, as videocards know how to turn up the heat. When left unchecked, these toasty chips exhibit all kinds of nasty behavior, from distracting artifacts to game lockups and system reboots. And if you're an avid overclocker, pushing your GPU past it's rated speed can yield more problems than frame rates. But that needn't be the case, or so Cooler Master hopes. Today we install their new CoolViva Pro videocard cooler, and we have the skinny on whether it's a phat solution, or a big fat waste of time.
