Vantec iCEBERQ4 VGA Cooling Kit - Overview
We'll start off with the packaging. The box was nice enough...
The window in the front gives you a sneek peak at the slick looks of the cooler inside. The
contents of the package are listed on the side...
This seems simple but it's pretty handy if you happen to be buying this
product from a retail store such as Comp USA or Fry's. Sometimes a plain-jane
word list doesn't give you a clear idea of what your actually getting. In
the pic below you can see that the plastic molding in the box keeps all the
accessories separate and safe.
Below I have removed everything from the plastic molding to show you all the individual components...
In the top left hand of the picture you can see the 3 to 4 pin converter
in case you don't have any open fan headers on your motherboard.
In the middle is the cooler itself with the included Vantec brand thermal paste just beneath
it. On the bottom we have the four memory chip heat sinks, and in the plastic bag are four
push-pins used to secure the cooler to the card. You'll actually only need two of
these but little plastic things tend to break easily so it's nice to see that Vantec has you
covered. Also in the bag are four pieces of thermal tape that you can use to adhere the four
memory heat sinks. This brings me to one of my few gripes about this product, well actually
just the accessories, and that is that most cards have 8 memory chips. Keep in mind though that
this is a small
complaint because mainly when you buy this thing your not buying it for the memory heat sinks,
your buying it for the GPU cooler.
Lastly we have the super-detailed instructions that show you how to install the cooler... sort of.
To be fair there really isn't a whole lot to installing this thing so the
fact that these directions are of little to no help really doesn't matter
as long as you exercise caution and use some common sense.
