Passive cooling OCUK 8800 GS.

Malt_Vinegar · 10 Feb 2009 at 16:23

I have one of these (Ocuk 8800 GS) with a 7 volted 80mm window fan blowing over it, and would quite like to get a cooler that will cope with that low airflow.

I dont game much at all anymore, I sometimes fire up HL2 or related, and some older stuff like Max Payne/Homeworld, etc.

I just want to reduce the noise levels, and this is the next loudest fan in my system

So, what GFX cooler should I be looking at? I have decided against watercooling for the time-being. Might go a CPU only loop at a later date if I can justify the expense.

An Antec spot fan?

An Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 can run my old 8800gt passively with around 70/80' under load.

Very good cooler indeed.

An Accelero S1 definately for running passive.

I used a Artic Cooling S1 in the past and cable tide a 120mm 800rpm fan on it to cool the ram chips. Excellent cooler.

Brilliant, thanks guys

Will it actually fit the GS unit though? Its not mentioned in the blurb?!

As long as it is a reference design card it should fit fine.

if it's a XFX it isn't - so your'll need to mod it slightly
