7800GT cooling - better air cooling?

[scottyd]

Hi, my 7800GT seems to get to around 60deg under load. I know it shoud take more than this (according to NV control panel anyway) but it seems to freeze or reboot if it gets too hot. Pulling the GPU and Mem clocks down a notch seems to keep things ok.

I'm presuming that it is the graphics card anyway, the system seems stable otherwise, Prime95 and so on.

Any ideas for better 7800GT cooling. Anyone tried the Thermalright heat sink and an appropriate fan? Or should I wait for the new Arctic cooling jobby?

Or do you think I'm missing something?

Cheers
Scott

Excellent. Will do. Thanks for the quick response.

Anyone have any experience of using those blower cards or other "get heat out of the case quickly" devices? Or should I just beef up the exhaust fans?

Now can anyone recommend a thread cooler to take away some of the heat I appear to have created!

The new AC things look like they could be good - not in at OCUK yet. The Zalman stuff also has the advantage that it looks cool.

How's that for sitting on the fence?
