The VF-900 up close
The VF-900 is the typical petal style cooler with a centralized fan surrounded by copper fins. This type of fan setup is designed to blow air omnidirectionally across the fins allowing for maximum cooling - however this does mean there is no exhaust mechanism for the hot air.

This cooler really is very pretty with its bright, coppery fins really offsetting most GPUs darker PCBs.

The VF-900 features a beautifully reflective core which should aid its cooling ability considerably.

This core is connected to the huge amount of fins through twin heatpipes. To read about heatpipes please read our glossary entry, here.

The cooler is mounted using some wonderfully simple thumbscrews which attach very easily and were simply a joy to use when compared to some of the nightmare cooler installs that have taken place at XSR over the last year or so.
