650TI Smaller HSF Reaplacment

Lisapete · 21 Oct 2013 at 12:36

Hi, I'm new here and needing some help.

I have both already. Case is tiny! http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pc-tu100/

This is my card http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4382#ov

I don't want to shell out more cash on a new card as I got this one for free but stock cooler will not fit so off she come. Now to find a replacement, Any suggestions as space is tight?

I've fitted 2 SSD's at the base of the case and optical drive, trying to make this a build once and leave. I need to make a very powerful pc but very small so this is why the case I picked. Thanks

I don't think you are going to have any luck finding a lower profile cooler. That's only a dual slot cooler which seems to be the norm these days. You could sell the card and try to find a single slot card but i can't find anything better than a Nvidia GT640 or AMD 6670.

***Edit*** Sapphire does a single slot low profile 7750 1GB.

Have a look through the links and see if either of these will be of any use.

Accelero Mono PLUS is 51mm in height, think I can just fit that in place. I will check when I get home as want to get the system running

The Scythe Setsugen 2 is even less.
Good luck any way, hope you manage to sort it.

176 x 33x 139 mm

Not sure it'll fit due to the length

You might want to Google each of those coolers to see how they are fitted, as the distance from your card to the case side panel may be a problem with the Accelero.

I see what you mean now I have looked. I have 51mm from the GPU core to the base of the case.

Unless I look at some massive watercooling mod

I've ordered a Accelero L2 PLUS as it was £14 delivered brand new.

Google show it too look within the cards own height and it might just fit. I could always trim the heasink down if needs be as there is plenty of height. Will try this first

I have one of those on a old 4650 in my wifes pc. It's fairly noisy even on the lowest speed and is 51mm high. According to Gigabytes website your card is only 42mm high.
