So, the system is installed and ready for tests. Here are the results:

So, it is all clear enough: the GPU feels cold while the PCB and memory are rather hot. Such a cooler is not in fact needed on a graphics card of the X800 XL class – a good air cooler would be enough in our case. The Tide Water is more appropriate on a top-end graphics card and its price will look more reasonable then, too. As for the noise factor, the cooler is almost silent at low rotations-per-minute and is very loud at the maximum speed.

Highs: Simple installation; Good performance

Lows: Occupies two PCI slots; Loud at the max speed

Conclusion: This innovative cooler for graphics cards is unlikely to become widely popular because of its rather high price, which is about $80.

Average price: $80
