The cooler's heatsinks are manufactured from copper, resulting in excellent heat dissipation while the built-in air cooler drives heat out of box. Note, that if you install this VGA cooler, it takes up an additional backplane slot in your PC. This may be a problem with some motherboards that have few slots available.
For our tests, we will install the iCEBERQ6 on a passively cooled VGA card, the MSI 7600GT. The existing passive cooling system is rather big and temperature on the GPU core reach 80° C under full load. This will be a good test to see what effect the iCEBERQ6 has on temperatures.
