Product: Tacens Visio Companies: BIOMAG, Tacens Published: 30/07/2009 Author: Manuel González Fernández Translated by: Ed Winograd Spanish Version 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.

INTRODUCTION

Tacens is an old friend of ours. We’ve seen many products from this manufacturer: power supplies, cases, and panels. But up to now, we haven’t had the chance to examine any of its heatsinks. In general, they are highly regarded, especially for their silent operation.

This heatsink, along with being the first one from Tacens that we could test, is the first one they’ve designed. The market for graphic card coolers is complex, because good performance is necessary and products must have almost universal compatibility. Tacens is a young company. Given that this is its first baby step in this area, we’ll have to see if they’ve done their work well.

We still haven’t said the name that Tacens has given its heatsink: Visio. We can draw many conclusions from such a striking name, but it would be better to see the specifications that Tacens has provided for the Visio:

The use of such unconventional bearings caught my attention. It’s welcome because it offers various advantages (we’ll talk about those later). It also allows for universal compatibility, since normally, certain video cards are only supported by heatsinks specially designed for them, like the HD 2900XT.
