Default Vantec Cooler decrease temps slightly?

hey,

i saw this and wondered if i put this so it blows air onto the top of my video card (the side without a cooler) will that help in temps at all? would i see a big differenct (big as in 5c) or would i be better getting something like the Antec Spotcool? (antec spot cool will only be on a specific part of my card, where as vantec would do the lot of it)

You should fill out your rig info in the CP so we can help you bit better.

I dont think you would get a great decrease in temps I tried similar thing with fan but got no viable results.

Dont think it would push enough air across or away from card to do much good.

Wouldnt hurt I guess but if you have a big card then might give meager results maybe 1-2c on PCB temps core temps nothing more then likely.
