Card Cooler XT (dual 120mm fan device)This article was written by George 'GlideFan' Panayiotou.

Now with computers getting faster and faster, the overheating problem is getting more and more common among computer users that don’t know how to use or simply can't afford “exotic” cooling and are still using the basic air cooling approach.
Some companies are trying to give a solution to their cooling needs. Some by making performance CPU heat sinks and others by making devices to throw that hot air outside the case.

Such a company is “The Card Cooler” (http://www.thecardcooler.com) who provide fan cooling devices of various types, such as slot coolers or single fans.

Today we are looking at the “Card Cooler XT”, blue LED version.

The device is actually two 120mm fans connected together with a piece of metal that you then screw on the case. And here is where you might run into some problems. Because of its length, the device cannot be installed in cases where the Power Supply Unit (PSU) is located sideways, covering part of the space above the CPU. We will check out the installation and problems that might arise a bit later on.
