Does anyone have any recommendations for a good dual slot GPU coole for my gtx 680? The reference fan on it is driving me nuts. Needs to be a dual slot though as my case is limited in space.

Please help
Thanks
Jay
 
Thanks guys, but all those are still bigger than dual slot. I have however looked at the Accelero Hybrid 2 which seems a lot better for my need.


Has anyone had any experience with them? How big is the backplate that cools the ram chips?
 
@ OP, the stock cooler/fan is good and will be ok till about 70% if your gaming noise wise.

Have you made a Fan Curve Profile in AB or Precision instead of the Auto one?

Is card clean of dust as if not it will be hotter so fan ramps up more.

When it hits 60% I find it way too loud, let alone 70%! By 60% the gpu is already hitting 85C but maintains at that speed and heat level.

I made a fan curve in Precision X and that helped abit but still too loud for my liking.

The card is super clean, I opened it up and placed new thermal paste as well just to be sure.
