HD2900XT Cooling

cuke2u · 15 Oct 2007 at 07:58

Hi, as I've now got these two cards mounted in my system I'm looking at trying to reduce the noise that they are making. Is it possible to fit an alternative air cooling, such as two Thermalright HR-03/R600's, if not so which? But, because of the space between them, realistically, am I looking at water cooling?
Thanks
Chris

Hi, wow that was quick, thank you for that. I was, however, looking for a current solution that I could order this week...

You will need to get 2 x Swiftech MCW60 A2900 adapter kit for the waterblock to fit the graphics card.

Hi, thanks for that, didn't realise I would need these and I guess that OcUK doesn't stock them

Hi, so I can get hold of those from another source, but how about memory and mosfet heatsinks, any recommendations?
Thanks...
