MY GPU IS JUST TOO NOISEY!!!! erm, anyway,

here is the site for it: http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Liguid/All-In-One/cl-w0052/cl-w0052.asp

I REALLY hate this noisey fan on my GPU.. I am so tempted to get this. Supposedly it takes up like 2 PCI slots.. but considering I only use 2 of my 4, and that one is expendable anyway (A nic), I am willing to make the sacrifice.

I have an eVGA 7600GT btw.

Anything special about the Fatality one.. other than it's got the title of some really good gamer on it?

oh, and is there something out there that is good for a nForce4 chipset? I want to replace that fan.

the fatality has a higher rpm fan

but the VF-900 is suposed to be better

iirc fatality has a bigger fan which has a higher rpm so more cfm... but not sure.

Edit: got beat to it :(

Diffrence between vf700cu and vf900 was 2c I thought, so I wouldn't (ever btw just because off the name) get the fatality.

i'm thinking either the VF700 or the VF900.. the 700 looks more promising to me.. the evercool looks good to.. $8 to quiet this thing down is worth it.

i am sure the VFD-90 was able to do more thn 2C better than the FV-700

search for reviews before buying

from what i've heard, it's good for the price if you dont want to DIY.

you should just strap a cpu cooler to it if you're willing to DIY. it will be dead silent :)
