GPU Cooling

[RobSmith]

Hi all -

At the moment I'm testing my 580 for some stable OCs (current: 850/2050 - 1.088). Temperatures at this OC are okay to be managed with the on-board card but any higher might need some assistance.

I'd like to see if I can hit the 900-950 core mark but I don't want to do this without having some extra cooling help - I know I can just whack up the RPM of the on-board fan but it's not ideal just to rely on that.

I haven't made any changes to the standard Haf 922 fans so I was wondering if there were any fan changes I could make, or add to my current setup that would improve the air flow within my case and help cool my GPU further.

Any suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

just taking off the stock cooler cleaning and bunging back on with mx3 or ic diamond etc should make a good -5 drop

An aftermarket cooler would be the best option, but by fiting one you could loose your warranty, depending on the cards manufacturer.
