l3lue · 15 Dec 2006 at 02:59

Um what heat sinks are their out or coming out that are compatible with geforce 8800GTX cards ?? Look all over google but cant seem to find any answers.

Why change it, the stock one is pretty good.

So is the stock Intel S775 one - but you'd never use that, would you?

My bfg is running 650/2000 52c quiet as a mouse,my lose the warranty over a heatsink.

It is?

Yes. It's quite possible to get 2.8GHz from an E6300 using the stock cooler. It also runs very quietly if you're not maxing the system out constantly.

I wouldn't use it myself as I'm into overclocking and for £15 I bought an AC Freezer 7, but there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the basic Intel cooler.

What has a cpu heatsink got to do with a gpu ?????

These cards clock very well with the stock heatsink, if anything buy a watercooling block,if you feel you need to change it.

Come on WJA96 for a nominal sum you can have far better quieter cooling performance and higher clocks.

Anyone in their right mind getting conroe and clocking would not use the stock cooler.

No,

Its pants.

Its noisey and will limit your clock.

Yes, but the point was - why buy a better cooler for a graphics card and I just said that you could say the same about a CPU cooler.

Instead of fighting about it, why doesn't someone answer the OP's question?

The stock cooler is fine.

The only way I would change the cooler is if I was going watercooling.

The stock cooler is quiet and allows nice clocks.

Another cooler will not get you any higher on the clocks, the card will reach its limit before then.

So there really is no point getting or looking for one.

I have no intention of falling out with you over this, but it's only noisy when it's running flat out (so is the AC Freezer 7 Pro) and it will only limit the clock to about 400FSB, which is still perfectly adequate. The point I was trying to make originally is still valid. The stock intel cooler is perfectly adeqauate as a stock intel cooler. For a little money you can buy a better one. Why should the OP not want to spend a little money and buy a better cooler for his 8800 series?

Because he wont gain anything.

And WJA96 were are not falling out!

I have to agree with easyrider,you want a better heatsink for the 8800 get a waterblock,i myself own a 8800gtx and the cooler on it is one of the best ive seen on a videocard and ive had a few card`s,NV and ATI.

Internet beers all round on me

So?

Why do people have SLI 8800GTX systems driving their 1440x900 monitors? Because they can! They don't gain anything, but a lot of 'enthusiasts' just have to tinker with everything or they're not happy.

I tinker if I see gains.

I wouldn't invalidate a 450 quid gfx cards warranty unless I was gonna see much much higher clocks or have total silence.Or reduce ambient temps in my case.

In this instance you would have to be pretty daft IMO to remove the Stock 8800 GTX cooler just for the sake on a tinker!

And whats with the roll eyes?
Its christmas!

Good will to all and that

Rolleyes is supposed to be sarcasm. For some reason people always interpret rolleyes as disprespectful. Now imagine sarcastic wit and read it again please. It's supposed to be funny. It might not be. I never seem to get repeat bookings on the club circuit. Even though I clear all the broken bottles off the stage after I've done my act....

Merry Christmas sir!

SO whats the average temp for the 8800? and whats to high?
