When it comes to gaming, one of the most important areas of the computer is the video card. Regardless of the video solution you use, increased heat will drop your performance. Today we are going to take a look at a pair of coolers from ZEROtherm. To give the GX815s a fair test, I will be testing them on a pair of 7900GS video cards that are a bit lacking on the cooling side. You can read up on just about any 7900 series video card review and find that just about every reviewer finds the cooling to be a little lacking. The stock coolers are small and do not offer adequate cooling for memory. I will also test these on two different motherboards showing the difference in performance with the difference in slot configurations.

     The ZEROtherm GX815 comes in a bright silver metallic colored package that is sure to catch your eyes attention. The rear of the package provides the consumer with detailed features and specifications for the GX815 as well as a couple of graphs to show performance stats.

     Opening up the box you will see the included hardware and mounting accessories for the GX815. A place for everything and everything in its place, there should be no problems with shipping this VGA cooler.

     Removing the plastic container from the box you might wonder where the instructions are at first glance. Rest assured they are included. They are tucked in a little pocket on the end of the plastic.

     Here we have the simple instructions unfolded. There isn't a lot to the instructions, but as you will see later on, there isn't much to installing the ZEROtherm GX815.
