I wanted to make this thread

the stock cooler is loud once you turn on the fan.

this one looks good. though I prefer a cooler that blows hot air out of the case rather than heating up my entire case. though I could put the fan speeds for my antec900 higher I gues.

Is arctic cooling still making gpu coolers btw? haven't seen any except the accelero series.

could'nt say for sure about the arctic cooling. Although on your antec 900 case could you use the side case 200m fan to extract the hot air given of by the graphic card?

Aim an 80MM fan directly at the card. Easy, quick and no worries of voiding a warranty. Saved me 20DG on temps.

i see people talking about heatsinks on the mosfets, would these be ok for the job? or are there smaller or better ones for them?

cheers,

Loads of threads on the subject here and on most other tech forums.

Here's mine:

Accelero S1 + Yate Loon 120mm fan.

iKettles · 10 Dec 2007 at 22:44

ThermalRight HR03 or Arctic Accelero S1

I too am looking into cooling my BFG 8800GT OC2 512MB in a quieter way. But my house is warm all year round and with the combined heat of the room, pc and my projector i am taking the plunge into water cooling. Does anyone know if the 8800GTS VGA blocks will fit on a GT? I ask as there is no 8800GT water blocks out yet that i have seen

Accelero S1 and 120mm fan. sorted.

Temps are about 40 degrees less @ full load than stock cooler.

I already have a zalman waiting to go on. what i ment was, will using extra zalman heatsinks on the mosfet chips be ok, no matter though as found some tiny ones designed for the job

=)

nice photo of the s1 by the way!

Raikiri · 11 Dec 2007 at 13:51

The Zalman ones would have been fine

Hesky82 · 11 Dec 2007 at 14:02

Thermalright 8800GT PWN-Heat sink

Any idea if OCUK stock these items??

my ram sinks are a little to big to fit over the mosfets, these would do the job fine!

booyaka · 11 Dec 2007 at 14:11

no need to cover the mofsets - they are cooled well by the 120mm fan anyway

Hesky82 · 11 Dec 2007 at 14:18

I don’t think they get to hot, but a fan can be much more effective at cooling semiconductors if there is a little heat sink increasing the surface area of the ic.

I just asked because I use watercooling and need some odd sized sinks like those Thermalright ones for the PWM ic's
