Great Cooling Fan [Posted on 2007-11-01]
A few months ago I purchase a PNY Verto GeForce FX5500 128mb PCI GPU. Once I realize that it didn't come with a cooling fan. I did some research and I decided to purchase the Vantec Spectrum PCI Fan Card. This PCI Fan Card looks great and cools down those video cards down. Plus you can change the speeds to the fans. So that means you can overclock your GPU.
Pros: Perfect for Gamers/Case Modders
Cons: You have to reach in the back to change the fan speed.
Excellent Cooling for fanless Video Card [Posted on 2008-02-25]
I use this pointed directly at my fanless vid card with great results. Prior to this fan, GPU temp under load was about 80c. Now, with the fan on low (extremely quiet,) it barely spiked to 51c. With the fan on high under load it didn't get any higher than 40c. High setting is much louder, but it does have a variable switch (like a dimmer switch) so you can probably find a happy medium that works for you some where in between. Moves A LOT of air on low and even more on high setting. Very impressed for such a cheap price.

It made no difference to my 8800 on idle but when under load it lowered it about 5*C. The RPM slider in the back made no difference in performance it just made it really really loud.

It saved my GFX card! [Posted on 2008-09-17]
The Vantec Spectrum PCI Fan Card is worth the money. I have an old Geforce FX5200 and the fan died after about 2 months of use. So, one day I was playing Wolf ET and everything started moving really slow.
I knew it was not lag because I saw the all too familiar weird colors on my screen which indicates that the card is about to bite it. It would have to, if I didn't immediately stop playing. Then I come to the place that I do all of my shopping at and find this great dual fan solution.
I'm happy to say that my old FX5200 is working like new again. The manual fan speed is what I really like about it.
There is a slider accessible from the back of your case from the fan unit that allows you to adjust the speed from 7 volts to 12 volts which is around 2400rpms to 4600rpms +-. Yes it is kind of loud at times but my graphics card is more important to me than silence. Oh, one more thing. My case temperature dropped from 77F to 66F. Sweet:)
