GPU Cooler - is it worth changing?

[Scottona]

Hey All,

Gonna order the gainward 8800gt bliss was just wondering if its worth fitting a new cooler to improve the temps as I have noticed they can climb abit high? (and I also plan to oc it)

Cheers

well it depends on what you would you class as high?

normal operating temps are around 70-80c

I have a Zotac overclocked as in sig., and with Rivatuner fan profiles runs (relatively,as the poster above said 70-80C) cool and quiet. Had my eye on a Thermaltake Duorb, but not feeling any rush to invalidate my warranty and fit one.
