    Find a Better Cooler for 8800GT!



    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!]




    We try these GPU coolers on 8800GT.







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



    reference frequency reasult:





    the word behind the the model number:
    (high speed)
    (low speed)
    (high speed)
    (low speed)
    (high speed)
    (low speed)
    (Auto)


    OC result:

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

    Went to Thermalright's website(knowing that they would always have a solution for something new) and found this
    http://www.thermalright.com/a_page/m...t_hr_03gt.html

    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.

    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.
