Hi all,

I have a nVidia 9800GX2 and it's a known fact that they run hot... very hot infact! So i did a little research and found this:

Akasa Freedom Force High Performance Heatpipe Graphics Card Cooler
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-057-AK

As soon as i saw this and read the reviews i thought, GREAT! But upon closer inspection of the 9800GX2 I find myself strugging to graps how this cooler would fit my card as the 9800GX2 is 2 cards bridged together with the cooler in the middle!

I see on the compatibility list the 9800GX2 is there.


So my question is this.. How on earth does it fit?


Many Thanks

I have nVidia 9800GX2 as-well and I think it has been running too hot for too long that I believe now it has died. I have still got to test it in another PC but I think it has gone :(
 
Um, the 9800GX2 is not on the support card list. :D
