Believe it or not, about a decade ago everything in
the computer was passively cooled. Those days are long gone thanks
to the incredibly high speeds of today's components, especially
the CPU.

Well, this is not entirely true. While CPU speeds
are past a point where they can be effectively cooled by passive
means, other components in your computer such as the GPU (graphics
processing unit) and memory chips can still get by with a well designed
passive cooling system. This review looks at two products from ATake
that will iterate this point, the Phantom Robot VGA Cooler and RamSink
VI.
