Cooler Master unveiled an innovative graphics card cooling solution during CES 2024. Marketed as the Project VGA Cooler, this next-gen custom design is positioned as a potential alternative to traditional triple-fan graphics cards. The unique feature of this cooling solution is Cooler Master’s dual Mobius fans. While triple-fan models are popular for their increased cooling capacity, Cooler Master claims that their two-fan solution offers superior noise levels and improved airflow.
The disassembly of an ASUS TUF series graphics card featuring a triple-fan design was followed by the installation of Cooler Master’s new prototype GPU cooler, as demonstrated at CES 2024.
Cooler Master aims to encourage users to replace their existing triple-fan setups with their innovative Project VGA Cooler. While aftermarket GPU coolers, like Arctic’s Extreme III, have been available in the past, Cooler Master’s latest offering showcased at CES 2024 has generated excitement and anticipation for a potential resurgence of such products. The prospect of upgrading to the Project VGA Cooler has sparked interest and curiosity among users.
The cooling capacity of Cooler Master’s Project VGA Cooler might not match the high performance of the robust heatsinks offered by many manufacturers today, such as Asus with their ‘Strix‘ series, Gigabyte’s ‘Aorus Master’ edition, or Maxsun’s powerful 5-fan RTX 4090. These top-tier AIB cards are known for their exceptional cooling capabilities.
Nevertheless, Cooler Master’s Project VGA Cooler, featuring two Mobius fans, could still be a valuable GPU cooler upgrade for numerous cards. Personally, I utilize an RTX 3080 Ti (ASUS Turbo), a blower-fan card specifically chosen for my mini-ITX build.
Equipped with a single fan and vapor chamber, my RTX 3080 Ti (ASUS Turbo) effectively cools the 350W GPU within the constraints of a dual-slot graphics card form factor, albeit emitting a considerable amount of noise. Considering a cooler replacement for use in a more spacious full ATX system, Cooler Master’s prototype Project VGA cooler with Mobius fans stands out as a top contender.
Cooler Master offers Mobius fans as a standalone product for PC case customization. While specific details about the cooling capacity of the Project VGA Cooler with two Mobius fans remain undisclosed, the company’s focus on targeting triple-fan designs suggests it could potentially handle cooling loads ranging from 250 to 300 watts in its current state.
Third-Party GPU Coolers Are Cool & Should Arrive In the Market!
Hopefully, Cooler Master will eventually bring this prototype to the market, offering exciting third-party options for GPU coolers. This would eliminate the need for users to devise makeshift solutions for highly specific PC builds. However, potential challenges include accommodating variations in GPU board sizing, likely necessitating the release of multiple variants to support different GPUs.
Although pricing and availability details are currently unavailable, we’ll provide updates as soon as there’s any news. Unlike GPU coolers, we have the freedom to choose and replace CPU coolers with options like 120mm to 360mm liquid cooling AIOs, large ATX air coolers, or compact designs suitable for smaller builds.
Unfortunately, the same flexibility isn’t available for GPUs, and users must purchase one with an integrated cooler that fits easily into their PC case. The resurgence of third-party GPU coolers in the hardware space would be highly anticipated!
