Never let graphics cards get hot with this new invention

VGA coolers don't usually work unless they're directly strapped to a video card, but Titan really set conventions aside when it made the TTC-SC07TZ(RB) which, rather than a VGA cooler, qualifies more as a PCI cooler.

Graphics cards, like central processing unit (CPUs), can't really survive for long, especially at full settings, without a nice cooler to keep their heat under control.

That is why there are a host of active and passive coolers on the market, not just the reference solutions that such items come with.

Titan is one of the companies that have a stake in this segment of the IT industry, though its most recent move is far less common than others.

Basically, in seeking to chill a video card, the company made a cooler that isn't even supposed to touch it.

Indeed, rather than offer an alternative to the stock or special coolers that video board possess, the company reportedly made one to complement or supplement it.

Simply put, the TTC-SC07TZ(RB), as it is called, qualifies more as a PCI video cooler than anything else.

More specifically, it is designed in such a way as to plug inside a PCI slot, next to the video card itself, so as to pump extra air at it.

It measures 265 x 39 x 147 mm (10.43 x 1.5 x 5.78 inches) and supports 95mm, 60mm, 70 mm and 80mm fans, in addition to having a built-in fan controller.    The actual product bundle includes a pair of 95 mm spinners whose rotary speed range between 1,000 and 1,800 RPM (rotations per minute), leading to sound output levels of 15 ~ 27.8 dBA. Airflow can also be improved by placing the item horizontally or vertically.

Unfortunately, Titan did not disclose just how much money one needs to be willing to part with in exchange for this item.
