GTX 460 aftermarket coolers

[Ket]

Yep all 3 PCIE slots are spread pretty well. Really starting to erk me though trying to figure out why the VRMs are getting so hot.

Seems Thermalright are on the case. shame it's so huge!



Thermalright Readies Shaman 140 mm VGA Cooler

If would be great if you could mount the fan on the underside of the heatsink, blow air away from the card it would only be a 3 slot cooler then. Which would make SLI possible on some boards.

Thermalright coolers is so good , but too big , taking up 3 slots its quite possible .
Forget about Crossfire / SLI user .

Not as it currently is, If you replaced the 140mm fan with a slimline 120mm then maybe but you'd lose the CFM and as a result the great temps.

Thermalright just need to make a slimmer version. Many motherboards have Crossfire/Xfire layouts allowing for 3 slot coolers. So I'd imagine they'd sell enough.

Come on Thermalright, slim it down.

Take it theres still no joy on the aftermarket cooler front for the palit sonic 1gb cards ?

The ZEROtherm COOLMAXX 3000 might fit this card?

If you want to make a good performance , you must pay for it .

Wow. I wouldn't have thought EK would make a block specifically for just 1 manufacturer.

Hey peeps, I have 2 palit sonic platinum 460s and I was wondering if there is some other kind of fan I can install on the original heatsink they have by removing the whole factory plastic cover+fan. Any suggestions? What fans have the same pins as those of graphics cards?

[cowie]

I used something like this to the card direct.

but later i just got a faster 4pin molex fan with controller and strapped it on.

Hi all, just to say that i bought the mk-13, it works amazing on my gigabyte gtx 460 768, but i had to use the stock cooler retention system to tighten the screws but only 2 of them were possible.I overclocked it to 870 core and 2000 mem and my temperatures in furmark are amazing and just with one 120mm 1000rpm NB xl1. :shocked

max temperature was 74ºC after 5min.

I think the http://www.zerotherm.net/eng/product/CM4000.asp]ZEROtherm COOLMAXX 4000 will fit. There is a couple of reviews at the bottom of the pagen in Korean.
To bad I cant seem to get it here in Sweden
