Xigmatek Intros Bifrost VD1065 VGA Cooler

Keeping up closely with its recent release of the Balder SD1213 CPU cooler, Xigmatek also introduced the Bifrost VD1065 VGA cooler. The Bifrost is a twin-fan aluminum fins based GPU cooler, that makes use of the company's popular Heat-pipe Direct Touch feature. The fairly-simple construction of this cooler includes a GPU contact block with mount-hole spacings of 43 mm, 53 mm, and 51 mm, to maintain a board list of compatibility. Here, five nickel-plated copper heat-pipes make direct contact with the GPU. These then convey heat to the cooler's aluminum fin array, which is cooled by two 100 mm ball-bearing fans that spin at speeds of around 2,000 rpm, with a noise-level of 20 dBA.

The Xigmatek Bifrost VD1065 is compatible with most current single-GPU graphics cards, including Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 series, NVIDIA GeForce 8-series, 9-series, GTS 200, and GTX 200 series. It is expected to arrive in stores soon, priced at 36.90 EUR.

Does give good temps though. Idles in the 30s, loads in the 50s.
I ll stick to my musashi!Will be enough for my 5850 and i ll find a way around the digital mosfet cooling thingie!:cool:
btarunrCypress has 53 mm mount-holes. Go ahead and use this. The problem however, is its tiny VRM chips. Single-piece MOSFET heatsinks are sometimes too heavy and yet inefficient for them. The VRM chips on graphics cards with digital-PWM are in theory hotter than a single-FETs because each chip packs both up and down FETs, and the driver IC into a single package.
Something that comes in my mind is that u can buy some themal pad and put some smaller heatsinks altogether on one,contact pad and then put them to the VRMS.My point is that the themral pad sticks MILLIONS times better that the pre applied glue to the mosfets and so u can attach bigger heavier or multiple sinks in the VRMS and thus keep them cooler.
