As long as your graphics card is not passively cooled with just a heatsink, chances are you're already looking for a new cooling solution for your card. Stock fansinks tend to deteriorate in performance easily, make a lot of noise or in some cases are just insufficient when overclocking the card.

In this article, we'll take a look at one of the few existing solutions for these problems, a VGA cooler from Vantec, the ICEBERQ 5 (CCB-A5C).

Vantec ICEBERQ 5 (front)

The ICEBERQ 5 is a very silent, ball-bearing fansink and a great looker. The rotation of the fan activates a bright blue light which will appeal to most case modders. It uses a solid copper heatsink for its base which offers the best thermal conduction but also contributes to its excessive weight compared to other Graphics card coolers.

The finish on the bottom of the round copper base is very smooth and initially covered by protective tape to prevent any scratches.

Another great feature of the ICEBERQ 5 is the accompanying heatsinks for the memory modules. The ICEBERQ 5 stands much higher than the round base, which allows enough headroom underneath for you to install the heatsinks without any problems.

The 8 included memory heatsinks

The ICEBERQ comes with a large compatibility list, that includes almost all the current NVidia and ATI cards.
