Hey guys,

I'm likely going to buy a 8800GT when they are back in stock.

Could I use this cooler:

Arctic Cooling NV Silencer v5 (Revision 3)

http://compreviews.about.com/od/cases/gr/ACSilencerNV5R3.htm


I saw on another website that it had been done but there was no report as to whether it was safe and fitted properly, and no results were posted.

Anyone got a better idea?


EDIT: Reason I want to use this cooler is that I already own it. ;)
 
I hope it can, because I have the same cooler, and I still think its one of the best coolers to this day. its silent, it blows the hot air OUTSIDE of the case, its cheap and its easy to install.

its a shame arctic doesnt sell them anymore :( I can't buy that model anywhere anymore nowadays)
 
I've been wondering if the Accelero X1 fits, as it was designed to fit the 7800/7900 series.

I was going to get one and give it a go, but might be worth a look?

The S1 fits and work's very well, temps under load are in the high 40's low 50's, idle 34c :)
 
I'd seen your S1 setup Raikiri, and the excellent results, but it sticks out too far over the edge of the card for my setup, and would foul one of my watercooling pipes. I utilise the space between the edge of the card and the case to route the pipes north south from the pump to the rad/chipset block etc.

I need something the same width as the card really.

I might end up sticking a water block on it I think.

My card was at 95c load after an extended play of MOH:Airborne. I'm sure it'll be fine, but that's higher than I'd like!

Would the lack of enough ramsink coolers be a problem?

i wouldnt use without them, get a set from a local pc store for a few quid though, along with some thermal tape to make sure they stay on.

edit: dont bother wasting money on thermal tape, use normal double sided like Asgard says...
