aerospyke Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Hey guys, looked at the ever cool VC-RE, but am not sure how well this would fit under a long video card (7800GTX) and if it would interfer with the sata ports on the expert board. I'm sure this has been done a million times, but I have looked at a few names and most of them don't come up as available in australia. What are my options that would cool relatively well (can't be worse than stock ... is that possible??) and can be controlled in terms of noise. is watercooling an option? I have never seen anyone watercool the chipset on these boards, but don't know if its coz it doesn't fit well, not advertised or just not done. The chipset fan is on its way out (sadly as my mobo is a long process to get out in my setup) and wanna replace it with something that isn't so noisy. What are my options? What is known about the VC-RE? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowboy Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 The evercool is the best chipset cooler and yes many are worse than the stock HS. Most do not WC chipset as does not help OC and adds more heat to the loop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzeld Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 please use the search. and there is a sticky at the top of the forum concerning the VC-RE. it is probably the BEST replacement HSF you can get for the stock one, bar none. it is also a direct replacement, it is either smaller than or the same size dimension wise, so no interference with vid cards, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GripS Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Perfect opportunity to get them cables tidy if they aren't already. Too bad your already running an SLI setup. Modding the ultra-d to SLI was a bonus while the cooler was off(even though i don't have 2 cards). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
