Vortexx is a VGA cooler designed by the Hong Kong based Akasa industrial design team to provide cooling performance and low acoustic levels. Vortexx provides good thermal performance with much improved acoustic levels. Two copper heatpipes connect the 60 x 60mm square copper base to the bonded fin heatsink. This cooler is designed to optimize mid range nVidia and ATI VGA cards. The cooler is SLI and CrossFire compatible. It is a perfect replacement for ATI and nVidia stock coolers delivering ultra quiet operation. A Akasa design 70mm low noise fan efficiently cools the GPU and board components including the voltage regulators. It is crucial to keep VRMs cool in order to stabilize graphic performance. Vortexx has an acoustic performance at 2300 RPM of 0.475 Sone, incredibly silent, whilst delivering a cooling performance of 0.40CW, most stock VGA coolers can only approach that thermal level at 5000 RPM fan speed producing much more noise.
