Tweet There's no beating around the bush - 3rd party GPU [Graphics Processing Unit] cooling is a fast growing market. While this was a tiny niche in the past, everything started to change in 2002, when I showed Sapphire's marketing rep ATI's reference...
One of the major concerns for any business is the "Void your warranty" factor. The R&D studio runs on hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment and software, but at one point, it stops being a concern. $1000 GPU in a $10,000 workstation with $15,00...

Prolimatech are a name that we're all familiar with now thanks to their excellent Megahalems CPU cooler. It was probably the first cooler than genuinely replaced the TRUE as the default weapon of choice and rightly won awards here, there and pretty muc...
No. No it's not.There is so much to like about the Prolimatech MK-13. It looks fantastic with a gorgeous combination of nickel fins, large heat-pipes and black heatsinks. The ends are highly polished as you can see in the shot adorning the top of every pa...

Most -- if not all -- PC hardware enthusiasts use an aftermarket cooler for their CPU. The cooling performance is night and day going from a stock cooler. However, replacing the graphics card cooler is far less frequent. This is for two reasons, it see...
I was going to praise the MK-13 for its omni-mount retention system until I discovered it did not fit on the HD 5770 and that the compatibility list had been shortened over time. However the main point is that the mounting brackets can be traded for ne...

Early this year we put the first Prolimatech built VGA cooler to the test. The MK-13 is an impressive looking product, though we soon found it suffered from a few critical flaws. The most notable of which was the VRM cooling which comprised of a few sm...
The updated VRM cooling did help reduce load temperatures by 10 degrees, but clearly this is not nearly enough. The standard Radeon HD 5870 cooling keeps the VRM at just 51 degrees, so going above 60 degrees here is really unacceptable. Therefore we ar...

When we took a look at the Prolimatech Megahalems Rev. B awhile back, we found it to be a massive, bold, and ultimately very impressive CPU cooler. Prolimatech is a rather new company but they've taken the enthusiast cooling world by storm, as the Mega...
The current crop of graphics cards are behemoths, both in performance abilities but also in terms of sheer physical size. The Radeon 5870, for example, is over 11" long and has an utterly massive cooler in order to keep that horsepower under control. M...
