Club Overclocker heeft een review gebakken van de GPack III Xtreme video koeling kit. Deze koeling kit bestaat uit een fan plus alpha heatsink en nog acht kleine alpha heatsinkjes voor het geheugen. De kwaliteit van de kit werd uitstekend bevonden (ook geen verassing met alpha onderdelen), maar een groot nadeel is het verlies van een PCI slot en daarnaast is het nut van zo'n kit twijfelachtig:
Now I'm sure you are telling yourself "Great, another heatsink review...A heatsink is a heatsink, they are all the same". Sorry, not all heatsinks are created equal. There are many things that make one heatsink superior to another such as design, air flow, cooling surface, quality workmanship, material, and so on. The idea is to have all these qualities wrapped up into one nice package. Alpha has been a leader in producing some of the BEST air cooled heatsinks money can buy so why not move this technology over and apply it to video cooling? Well, this is exactly what Alpha and Millisec has done!
[...] It's easy for me to say that this is the best air cooled video card cooling kit available on the market today. With quality and performance like this, it's no surprise the heatsinks are from Alpha. I have to hand it to Millisec on this one, they have put together one awesome cooling kit!
As with most modifications there are down sides but with the GPack III Xtreme the loss of a PCI slot is worth the extra cooling. Remember, lower operating temperatures means greater stability during higher clock speeds, higher stable clock speeds means greater performance. If you don't like to overclock, then think of the GPack III Xtreme as an insurance policy on your expensive hardware!
