Deepcool Intros 'Dracula' VGA Heatsink

In order to keep up with the massive amounts of heat dissipated by today's graphics cards, Deepcool has announced the launch of the Dracula high-end VGA heatsink that was specially built in order to be used together with today's hottest GPUs.

The Dracula VGA cooler was released into the company's Gamers Storm series targeted at gamers and computer enthusiasts.

Compared to the other VGA cooling solutions launched before by Deepcool, such as the V6000 or V4000, this latest heatsink uses a new design which relies on two separate heatsinks.

Heat is driven form the GPU and into the two separate fin stacks by no less than six U-shaped heatpipes. 

Just like the heatsink, these are also silver nickel plated in order to protect the cooler from erosion or oxidation and prolong its service life.

On top of the massive heatsink, users can install up to three 140mm, or four 120mm fans, but have also the option of using low-speed 92mm fans, if they so desire.

Deepcool doesn't mention how will the fan choice affect the cooling capacity of the Dracula VGA heatsink, but it does state that its latest creation can handle graphics cores which dissipate up to 250W of heat.

In addition to designing the Dracula to feature an impressive cooling capacity, Deepcool has also made its retention system compatible with a wide range of graphics cards form both AMD and Nvidia.

This list includes such models as the Nvidia GTX 580/570, GTX560, GTX 480/470, as well as most AMD Radeon HD 6000, 5000 and 4000 series cards.

Deepcool hasn't provided us with any information regarding the price or the release date of the Dracula, but this monster of a VGA cooler is expected to cost quite a pretty penny. Fortunately, performance should also be on-par.
