HTPCnews has made a review on the Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer NV5. One of the products that I was most impressed with in the HTPC world was the original series of VGA silencers. The original series offered what no one else was able to, a silent cooling product for hot video cards that didn't leave the hot air in your case. This was a huge advantage over other solutions such as the Zalman heat-pipe coolers which didn't have a way to exhaust the hot air from your case. Sure the heat pipes were dead silent but the passive cooling really left me hot and bothered... literally.
 Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer NV5 Review
There is no doubt that the VGA Silencer series
is a required component if you plan on having a gaming card in your HTPC. Its ability to drastically reduce noise in your system but still keep your Video card at decent temperatures is certainly a feat un matched by any other product line. No one else has a cooler on the market that will do this and also exhaust the hot air out from your case on top of that! Even though a little tiny bit
louder than previous revisions the cooler does a wonderful job and you really couldn't go wrong picking one of these coolers up.
