A friend has just bought 2x7900GT's and I was wondering what coolers to fit for him?
I like the older style Arctic coolers because they exhaust the hot air out of the case and ar epowered by the video cards. But are there any which fit the 7900's? I only see them for the 7800's. Also do they cool the memory chips effectivly?
What are the new Arctic coolers exhaust hot air out of the case? How important is this feature? I ask because he wants it fairly quiet when not gaming (so not having 8 case fans) although he's not too fussed about noise whilst in 3d.
Lastly the Zalman. I'm not liking the fact that the hot air stays in the case. Am I placing too much importance on this? Also they run at a fixed speed which isn't really optimal.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Ta
