[Ub3r-L33ch]

It's smaller than a stock 8800GTS..

The copper part and the silver part are sold seperately. This is fantastic for the new GT..

The Copper part comes with Ram Sinks. so it's basically all you need, the GPU plate is gorgeous, lapped perfect.

I don't know why the discussion is going past Zalman.. It's a no brainier..

So about extra cooling...

I've got a FC-ZV9 on my 7900GT which will put on my 8800GT. So the GPU core and RAM will be covered... but there seems to be other places I should be placing RAM sinks?

I'll have a fan blowing over the bare part in the mean time but if anyone could help point out exactly what I should cover, let me know. Thanks!

I plan on using a VF1000 also with a 8800GT, when it'll become available here, for my 2nd gaming rig. Very nice photos u got there...

it will cool the capacitors and memory...oh it will..... trust me it will



they kinda had the right idea but, it got out a hand with the aerodynamic plastic cover. looks like it would take up 3 slots.

It does fit the 8800GT? It says it is made for GTX, GTS, and Ultra .. and I thought those were a different mounting size than the GT?

It fits the 8600. The 8800GT is the same mounting locations as a 8600

What ever happened to the Arctic Cooling External Exhaust coolers? I'm getting tired of this whole "blow in my case" crap.

[TheMiracle]

Hey!
what about the 7900 GTX, the four GPU holes are the same, anyone with both cards willing to check it out?
7900's GTX cooler rocks, and performs really well, put pictures if you find any site too! Thanks!

They are loud and cheap...

[AliG]

I agree, nv tried to combat the rv670pro's single slot cooler, but failed at it. 65nm just didn't lower the heatload enough to be able to do so on the bs cooler nv's slapping on. Hopefully we'll see an acs3 cooler with a lot more mass, or a cheap well performing single slot cooler for those who don't want the hr 03 gt

[mariosimas]

That's a nice heatsink! Now what fan?

I´m using the HR-03+ on my 8800 GTS 320M with a 120 mm fan

[Rob94hawk]

Nice setup. That heatsink leaning toward the right, is that the memory cooler? Which one is it and are you using MX-2 or AS5? Thanx.

[Planet]

I like how his bios chip says WTF

[HKPolice]

Guys, stop wasting money on these wimpy heatsinks with tiny 80mm fans.

Get this: http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.php?idx=138
Then slap on 2x 120mm fans on it using zip ties. It beats out all other 3rd party VGA coolers + many watercooling solutions too (like the crappy TT stuff)

It will take up 3 slots so might not be viable for SLI, that is the only drawback.

Oh ya, this thing is cheap too, around $30 + 2x Yate loons = $40 max and it beats the $55 zalman/thermalright solutions.

[Conumdrum]

Thats the SB cooler. I got the same but gonna take the 80 mm fan off, it doesn't get very warm at all.

[mariosimas]

Thanks. No it´s the SB Cooler. In the CPU i´m using the coollaboratory, on the NB, SB and GPU i use the AS5.

Well I quote Myself to ask again the same question?, will it be possible to put the 7900GTX stock cooler on the 8800GT?
Thanks!
Max,..-

[Scubar]

Id be interested to know that aswell. I have a 7900GTO at the moment and the stock cooling is excellent. i would like to swap it over to a 8800GT if i decide to pick one up

2nd that

That is a chipset cooler..

Thanks man, It's a gaming rig.. It's good to have a sense of humor.
