Coolink GFXChilla GPU Cooler Review

Packaging and Accessories


As with most coolers, the GFXChilla comes in a box which is adorned with flashy graphics which will stand out in a brick-and-mortar retail store environment. There is a plastic window on the front of the box which showcases the twin 80mm fans while be back of the package holds all the specifications and features of the GFXChilla.


The entire heatsink as well as all of the mounting hardware and other accessories is packaged in a clear clamshell package which is held together with seven round tabs.


With the GFXChilla you get the usual no-frills accessory package but what is included is of surprisingly high quality for a cooler which costs a mere thirty bucks. You (of course) get all the necessary mounting hardware in addition to more ramsinks and VRM heatsinks than you can possibly use on one card, a tube of generic thermal compound, a 3-pin to Molex adaptor and some spacers for around a GPU without a metal shim.


The instruction manual is without a doubt one of the best we have come across with all of the instructions printed out in an easy-to-understand manner. There are however some caveats we had with these instructions which we will touch upon a little later in the review.
