8800GT cooling

[Darryl_1983]

Which of the after market vga coolers is the best for a 8800GT, i'm looking to overclock my card but want to get the temps down first. Was going to go with the artic cooler S1 but its out of stock and oc reckon its going to be at least a couple of weeks before its back in stock, but give no exact date. I'd also be using case fans pointing directly at the cooler to aid cooling.

Probably this one

But it's a bit costly.

Personally I prefered the cost and apparent potential of the Arctic s1 so have bought one -- not yet fitted yet so cannot say if as good as supposed to be.

Would mention that the one I bought was rev. 1 variety not the rev.2 but did not get to know this until after buying.

You mean the S1 as appose to the S2? or is there actually a second revision too?

I don't mind paying an extra £10 if its better than the Arctic.
