| Apex Tech Demi-God  | Re: replace VGA cooler? Remove the cooler,clean all the dust from it ,and reapply a quality thermal paste like arctic silver ceramic. Also turn up the fan on it with either the Nvidia software NVIDIA nTune or riva tuner RivaTuner v2.06 download from Guru3D.com Last edited by RBIEZE; 09-February-08 at 03:15 AM.. | |

| PCApex Reviewer From Hell  | Re: replace VGA cooler? If it's still overheating after replacing the thermal paste and adjusting the fan speed I'll recommend getting one of these. I've got them on my 8800GTX's and there doing a very good job for me. And they look good to :-) Newegg.com - Thermaltake CL-G0102 VGA Cooler - Retail | |
