INTRODUCTION

 

      The graphics card is clearly the most important part of a gaming system and it is very natural for gamers to try to improve its performance by upping the clocks. However by doing that most users end up not being satisfied with the cooling performance of their stock graphics card cooler since most video cards easily go over 80C at full load resulting in artifacts and general system instability. Certain graphics cards manufacturers do install better coolers on their cards and pre-overclock them but usually those solutions are not as good as aftermarket solutions.

       Coolink is still a very new name to most people in the United States but very respected in the EU because of their incredible performing products and their low prices. Coolink is a brand of the Kolink International Corporation and stands for an effective conjunction of no-frills performance, excellent quality and attractive pricing. Coolink - the direct link to affordable high-end cooling! Kolink International Corporation is a cooling specialist established in 1996 and well known among industry insiders. Throughout the years, Kolink designed and manufactured many top-performing heatsinks under various brand names that succeeded in international markets. An experienced R&D team and ultra-modern production plants in Taiwan ensure continuous progress, efficient manufacturing conditions and strict quality standards.

      Having already reviewed the Coolink Silentator a while ago i already know that they have a pretty nice performance lead over most of their competitors so i was quite anxious to test their graphics card cooling solution the Coolink GFXChilla. According to its specifications this should be a really silent dual 80mm fan cooling solution with great performance and a very low price tag.
