Cost
Jetart coolers are notoriously hard to get hold of though usually go for around the £15-25 mark. Newegg stocks some of their coolers but as of yet is not stocking this particular one. When it comes into stock I will let you all know. If you are interested in this cooler your best bet currently is working something out directly from Jetart.
Bits and Box
The "Box" for this cooler is much the same as other Jetart packaging. Its made of clear plastic and the front shows you the cooler and all its accoutrements with it.

On the back you have a compatibility and specification list that is synonymous with Jetart coolers; as per normal, this cooler fits pretty much everything.
Taking the packaging was nice and simple, little metal plugs holding together too pieces of plastic, no cut hands today. You get a variety of little accessory bits with the VC2600, including: Ram sinks, heat paste, mounting clips, mounting screws and a 3-4 pin power connector.
The Cooler
The Cooler itself is very similar to other Jetart products, indeed as stated it is an updated model of the JASCH1, previously reviewed Here. The cooler features the same heat sink design as its predecessor.
The solid copper heatsink is designed to have maximum airflow over it from the 60mm fan. However, although this fan looks similar to the one that adorned its predecessor it is different in one aspect, its noise level. This fan is said to be almost silent, however more on that later.

The Cooler works (In the same way as the JASCH1) by the fan drawing in air from infront of the cooler and pushing it across the copper heatsink fins.

Jetart package all of their GPU coolers with a blue "Sticker" over the core area of the heatsink to make sure that the surface retains its finish throughout transit. However, even though Jetart's previous coolers have had great cores to them, I was not prepared for the level of lapping that this HS had.


As you can see the core part of the HS is polished to a complete mirror finish. Jetart have done themselves proud here, and you will see that this benefits the cooling performance greatly later in the review.
