Scythe Setsugen Rev. 2 VGA Cooler VGA (Accessories)

Customer Review

Introduction:
After the original fan my Palit GeForce GTX 460 became unbearably loud and hot 60%, I wanted a better and quieter especially installing. For a video card like the Palit which is no reference model, the designed somewhat difficult. After some searching I found recommendations for Setsugen 2, which should also watch out for the Palit card. At first I was skeptical because officially only reference models are supported. When I then found pictures on the internet, which proved that it comes, I felt confident.

Quality:
The quality is usually top Scythe yes, additonally to say.
Installation:
The installation took about 30 minutes. It took a bit to understand the instructions, so you should take your time and you prefer to read it twice. Caution: any guarantee expires during installation!
Features:
In particular, the diversity of the passive cooler for the voltage transformer was very enjoyable. It supports many graphics card models.
Temperatures:
The Palit fan Idle temperatures were 34 ° C and at 100% after 30 minutes play Metro 2033 on a high resolution at 78 ° C.
Mir of Setsugen 2 were the temperatures Idle 30 ° C and at 100% after 30 minutes play Metro 2033 on a high resolution at 65 ° C.
Volume:
Idle not hear the 120mm fan. At 100% -Tours he makes something noticeable, but in any case to dimensions quieter than that of Palit. My case fans are about identical, does not bother me's, absolute Silent freaks might complain.

I am very excited about the fan. Finally play without annoying noises from the outside and the box also generates less heat. The money was worth it.
Some are bothered by the potentiometer, which regulates the speed of the fan. Well, that's the only criticism that one fan unfortunately can not control over the software but only via the potentiometer. But after some testing and Temp measure you can find his ideal speed. I let the Setsugen 2 now always run on 60%. Is quiet and cool enough while playing, without having to turn the potentiometer.
One should also note the size: the whole structure is quite flat and consumes only about 1/2 slot, but the heatsink is quite wide. In my normal ATX case is between the wall and heat sink just yet about 1cm square. So is not suitable for smaller housing.

Buy recommendation to all who are looking for a quieter fan for Ihne graphics card!
