Summary: The Tacens Fero is aiming to become one of the best laptop coolers in the market and it is really doing a good job. With its four 60mm fans it produces a strong air flow without emitting too much noise.

Heat emissions have always been an issue with laptops and the constant race towards higher CPU and GPU performance hasn’t made much contribution to solving the problem. Even the name “Lap-top” suggests we are talking about a product suitable for your lap. But everyone who has tried some serious gaming while resting the laptop in their lap, knows what kind of heat we are talking about (and what it does to your nuts). So the last couple of years, while the laptop sales have peaked, we have seen a lot of new products on the market, aiming to solve this problem. A couple of weeks back we reviewed the “Nexus TDD-9000 Laptop Cooling Pad” and today we will be taking a look a more advanced laptop cooler, the Tacens Fero.

Summary: Tacens has entered the market for graphic card heatsinks in the best possible way. Its Visio is a solution with excellent compatibility and very good performance, all at a very reasonable price.
