Is there any graphics coolers for the 295 GTX?

Thanks!

None that I know of, there's a backplate heastink-like idea though.

Would this work with my 295GTX Gainward?

Haven't a clue mate, sorry

Falconik · 10 Apr 2010 at 23:41

Damn.. Reason is I think my 295 is over heating... I have the right NVIDIA driver ( the one that doesnt mess your GPU up lol) I even opend all windows, cleans fans, opend case... But still overheating... It goes to 105C in games and just causing it to stutter.

Do you know how I find out if the heat sink is losE?

Try blowing out any dust from between the fins with a can of compressed air. How old is the card?

Firsty, check if you're still in warranty.

If you're not then just take the cooler off the card, clean up the cores and reapply some TIM and reattach the cooler

I bought a PC from overclockers, that came with the pc the GPU, so who would I send to check?? Thats if I still have warranty, need to check. Also, clean the cores? And what is TIM?

When did you buy it?

You could either contact gainward directly or try dropping gainward an email.

Falconik · 11 Apr 2010 at 00:07

I bought it sometime last year? Will have to check the receipt, oh ok. I will try email them then.

reiyushin · 11 Apr 2010 at 00:09

Well if it's the same card as is in the OcUK store you've got a 2 year warranty

Falconik · 11 Apr 2010 at 00:10

Omg nice, so I should email them about it? Also, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-107-GW&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1324 i'm pretty sure thats the one, but my GPU doesnt have that picture on it. Will that be a problem??

reiyushin · 11 Apr 2010 at 00:16

Nah, no problems.

OcUK sold you it so I'd contact them first, if they can't help they'll point you in the direction of someone who can

Falconik · 11 Apr 2010 at 00:16

Right ok, thanks a lot for help man!

reiyushin · 11 Apr 2010 at 00:17

No problems, hope it gets sorted soon

Falconik · 11 Apr 2010 at 00:19

Oh btw, how does your Vapor-X handle games?? Can you play games on max settings?

reiyushin · 11 Apr 2010 at 00:24

I'm running 3 screens so it gets hammered at max settings

Single screen it runs anything I throw it at

Falconik · 11 Apr 2010 at 00:35

Even Bad Company2 and Crysis? :O

reiyushin · 11 Apr 2010 at 00:40

I sold Crysis with my last rig but BC2 it handles fine

That is a visually stunning game

Falconik · 11 Apr 2010 at 00:45

Omg.. Nice, I may have to get one

I'm stuck... 5780 or 480GTX... Been loking at benchmarks and the 5780 beats it on some games... And to say it's cheaper. Hmmm what to do haha
