Introduction

After-market cooling solutions have never been so popular, every month new samples are being pushed for a release and it was not too long ago when the first Auras Fridge sample arrived at my review desk. Auras might not be known for most of you, but in fact they have been around for nearly 10 years which not only makes them very professional in what they do, they also know quite well how to bring out attractive products with a high price/performance ratio. Today, we gladly have a look at the JES-988 video card heatsink...



Auras Technology was founded back in 1998, but it was already the following year that they decided to move to a new place and become dedicated into developing notebook thermal solutions. Since then, they have only become more widespread, bigger, and better in what they do. They obtained ISO-9000, ISO-9001, ISO-14000 and ISO-18000 certifications and have increased their capital 10 times compared to their starting capital. With large production capacity and big OEM contracts, Auras is very experienced in cooling today's semiconductors, and that's probable why they decided to start focusing on retail products.

For our today's article we'll be looking at the Auras Fridge (JES-988) heatsink for ATI and NVIDIA video cards, here is what hit my doorstep few weeks back:
