VGA cooling

Reverend KWR · 20-February-04, 05:40 PM

I am currently having a H20 system built be zenzzo. I want to put a new cooling system on my video card but the problem is, i dont really want to do a WC setup on my vid card. I was looking for reomendations for cooling solutions for a radeon 9600pro (built by ATI).

How about the HSF that used to be on your CPU? A little DIY work and you'll be good to go.

The Zalman ZM80C-HP is a popular choice.
Same with the ThermalTake Giant II.

You are going to be overclocking the card right? Cause there really isn't a need for a new cooling unit. The stock heatsink is just fine.

It is currently overclocked but running a little warm for my taste. not sitting at my home pc so i cant tell you the sepcific numbers. hmm.. see, the fan and HS on my CPU is a TT Volcano 7... one of the reasons i am watercooling is that dang fan is freaking LOUD!. My washer and dryer dont make that much noise.
