Conclusion
I hate to end a review like this as I don't have any performance numbers to use as a basis for a "should you buy this product" conclusion. However, I can without doubt say that this is a very poorly put together product. On the right card it might cool very well, but: It's compatibility list is misleading - bordering on false advertising, it doesn't fit properly on stated cards, it uses a rubber back that strips resistors from the PCB and it has a power cable that doesn't fit properly on anything but the 2pin connector found on very few cards that would require an aftermarket cooler. That said, don't buy the CoolForce, especially if you have an x1950 Pro.
