New Cooler for X1900XT

[PermaChanged]

Hey guys,

As the title says, I need a New Cooler for my X1900XT.

I previously had it water cooled and then my pump died so I've decided to go back to air.

The card already has 8 ramsinks on it so I am just wondering what will fit?

I want it to be as silent as possible, would this fit?

Thanks

yes the accelero s1 fits, best to get the turbo module for it too to keep temps under control if you not got good case cooling.

Okay thats great thanks, case cooling is adequate and I don't game anymore so it should fit the bill nicely, great price too!

Thanks

also if you not game anymore, looking underclocking then gfx card. or better yet if your not into gaming, sell the card why you can still get some good money for it and get yourself a real low power consuming gfx card which has lots of features like hd video decoding etc.

I've bought two of those S1's for 1900/1900 crossfire. Seem too run slightly warmer than a Zalman VF900 passive (48 comared to 41) however I'll be placing a fan to blow front to back over the S1.

In SLI/Crossfire all slots are used up more or less, the space left for PCI will result in them being right next to the heatsinks. I'll take a photo once I fit the second 1900/S1.

what are the load temps you get? idle temps mean squat.

Well I would have to move the slave back to top slot and I can't be bothered.

Just brought an Artic Cooling Accelero for my X1800XT - haven't checked temps yet but it is a damn sight quieter than stock cooler!

Ok running game now with ATI tray tools. Was running passive, around 70 degrees, fitted a 12cm fan just in front of the videocard (PCI-E cable) pointing to the back of the case, now 64 degrees max.

I'm getting around 77 degrees with it playing on Need For Speed Most Wanted, gonna mount a 120mm fan at 7v under it to help a touch.

Its a great cooler though!

games not good for load temps, use ati tool or traytools artifact scanner. then come back and report the temps.
