Tweakmonster Dual 80mm Fan Bracket

Have you been trying to abuse your Video card but just haven't been able to keep those temps stable? Well, today we will take a look at one of the many possible answers to your problems. The Tweakmonster dual 80mm Fan Bracket not only provides you with a great addition to keeping your video card cool, it also helps make your rig look even cooler than it already does!

As any overclocker out there will tell you, stock cooling just doesn't cut it. Especially not in todays world of hardcore 3D gaming that taxes even the fastest of todays video cards. If you're one of the people out there who is weary of trying to remove the stock cooling and add your own, the Tweakmonster Dual 80mm Fan Bracket is what you need. It's also my duty to point out that the Tweakmonster also makes a set of ramsinks found here that go with the bracket and help to even better cool your video card.

• Easy Installation
• Room for 2x80mm fans (not included)
• Easily adjust the position up or down
• Great for cases with windows
• Light weight and good looking

The Tweakmonster bracket comes with everything you need to install it in your favorite case. Just add your favorite fans and your set. Simply remove the screws from any two PCI slots (or 1 PCI and 1 AGP) and install the standoffs which came with the bracket. These will hold your cards/slot covers in place.

After installing the standoffs, simply line up the bracket where you want it and fasten it in place with the included screws. Later if you want to adjust it, simply loosen the screws and reposition it.

The Tweakmonster Dual 80mm Fan Bracket is a very nicely made bracket that will help to make any case cooler and better looking. After installing the fan bracket, I unplugged the fans and attempted to OC my Radeon9000 AIW Pro, lets just say I wasn't successful. Even the smallest step seems to cause instabilities. After plugging the fans back in, I tried again. This time, I was pleasantly surprised. While I was only able to add an additional 13mhz to the clock speed, the use of the fan bracket allowed me to increase my ram timings an additional 20mhz and I also noticed the case temps decreased by about 2*C when using the Tweakmonster bracket. Keep in mind that results will vary from system to system and some cards OC better than others and I can only assume that using the ramsinks mentioned above would further assist in the cooling and overclocking of the memmory timings. So, whether your looking to crank a few extra mhz out of your vid card and keep it cooler, or you're experiencing problems with your cards getting too hot with their stock cooling, this product will certainly give you the needed edge to tame the temps. If you want good quality combined with functionality the Tweakmonster Dual 80mm Fan Bracket is the way to go.
