Find a Better Cooler for 8800GT!

http://www.expreview.com/img/review/...88gtstock1.jpg

You know,though 8800GT is good, but its cooler is small and less-effective.

We manage to find out that the 8800GT's stock cooler is only 500 square centimeter. FYI, the 8800GTS stock fan is 2000 centimeter(and it have a better heatpipe design too).

And all of us konw that 8800GT's TDP is 110W. With this high TDP, only a 500 centimeter stock cooler is absolutely not enough.

so we've try some different GPU coolers on 8800GT.

[warning! Coz 88000GT doesn't have the IHS protection(which G80 have), so pls do not put too much pressure on the core or it will broke!]

And here is our test bed.(we are using Gainward Expertool to OC the shader)

Great job crookerjc, definitely have something nice worked up with expreview.

Honestly, I'm not surprised, I didn't think it would be that easy for nvidia to jump to a single slot cooler when they raised the clockspeeds and shader count, and it looks like I was right. Perhaps 55nm will help them, but ati seems to be owning them in terms of manufacturing process technology.

Mind doing a sound comparison? I think that matters the most to people right now as long as the cooler can prevent the card from combusting

I heard the HR-03 R600 works on it.

yep. actually in our review page 2 we mentioned that the cooler installion holes are 75.5mm in the cross. many other cooler can fit that.

I've been reading that the HR-03 fits. Does this include the + version?

zanzabar

no the + mounts differantly, but i think that the hr03 600 dose and that one is better than the +

Went to Thermalright's website(knowing that they would always have a solution for something new) and found this

It beat stock by a whopping 37 degrees! Holy crap

I plan to use the Zalman that I currently have on my GTS on it...

It did wonders for my GTS so it will do a great job on my two GT's..

Minus the Ram Cooler..

Load for 1 Hour used to run a 78 Deg temp..

Load for 1 Hour went to no more than 56 Deg...

Idle is the same.

Fan is on it's lowest setting 60%. If the fan is increased, the idle drops by 10 and the load drops by a further 3.

How are you supposed to use SLI with these giant coolers?

Not that I am doubting you, but are there any pics showing this? That thing just looks massive and I don't think I have that much room between my 2 cards.

It's smaller than a stock 8800GTS..
