Today we are checking out a new high-end VGA cooler from Prolimatech, the makers of the popular Megahalems CPU cooler. The MK-13 is their first attempt at developing a VGA cooler and while they have not got everything right this round, it is still a very impressive product and to find out what we mean read on... Despite being the makers of one of the best CPU air-coolers in the world, we will forgive you if the name Prolimatech doesn’t ring any bells. This is because the company itself is just two years old, while their first product was released just a year ago now. Prolimatech did quickly become a well known name amongst enthusiasts, due to their Megahalems CPU cooler that was able to match the performance of existing high-end products.  Just one other product followed the Megahalems in 2009 and that was the Mega Shadow, which was exactly the same product but with a shadow chrome paintjob, which apparently warranted a much higher price tag. With just two products on offer and one design, Prolimatech didn’t have companies such as Thermalright scrambling to release new products. Still, Prolimatech is looking to carry the momentum they had throughout 2009 into the New Year with a completely new product, one that can complement their existing CPU coolers. This new product is a VGA cooler, which has simply been named “MK-13”, which seems a bit drab when compared to the names they came up with for their CPU coolers. However there is certainly nothing boring about the MK-13 and although it may look like just another oversized VGA cooler, there is quite a bit more to this product. Perhaps the biggest issue large aftermarket VGA coolers face is getting them to fit comfortably inside your case, especially if you want two of them for some SLI or Crossfire action. Prolimatech has come up with an interesting solution to this problem, by developing a special mounting system that can accommodate for up to four 120mm fans, that’s right, four! Another impressive feature of the MK-13 is its ability to suit all modern single-GPU graphics cards, which of course includes the Radeon HD 5870 and GeForce GTX 285 for example. Keeping this in mind, let’s check out the new Prolimatech MK-13 in greater detail... |
