Graphics cards are emitting the most heat of all components today and it's not just the GPU that becomes very hot after some rough gaming sessions. Especially the voltage regulators have tendencies of becoming very hot and ThermalRight has now launched two powerful VRM coolers (Voltage Regulator Module) for AMD's Radeon HD 4890 and HD 4870 graphics cards. The coolers work passively and use the airflow of the CPU cooler to cool the heatsink, but can be equipped with an 80mm as well.
The coolers could be spotted at Computex a month ago, but there was no detailed information available at the time, but ThermalRight has now published the coolers at its website.
ThermalRight VRM R1 resp. VRM R2
The new coolers, ThermalRight VRM R1 and VRM R2 are both made from copper and transfer the heat off the regulators, using two heatpipes, to one large heatsink. They both weigh 160g, but the angle of the extended extended is different, and which of the two to pick depends on which processor you got.
The cooler is intended to be used together with ThermalRight's new T-Rad2 cooler seen below.
