Cuttlefish1212 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I plan to upgrade my video card to a 7950GT but I've run into a slight snag. My current HSF is arrranged such that I won't be able to fit this card in the PCI-e x16 slot. In fact, I currently have my video card in the secondary PCI-e slot (x8 I think). I really don't want to part with my XP-90C, but if the 7950 requires true PCI-e x16, then I need a different HS/HSF. Any recommendations on a cooler that would be both a good performer and allow me to seat the video card in the x16 slot? Also, I have lighted DIMMs so I can't swivel the XP-90C around...I need a nearly vertical cooler with enough clearance on both sides to allow the memory and video card.

radodrill Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Ever considered H2O; there are some sweet single-slot liquid coolers available (dangerden.com). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Septem Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Thermalright Ultra-120, Zalman CNPS 9500, SI-128 (possibly?), watercooling, Blue Orb (?), HR-01, among others. I don't know if you're planning on installing an HR-03 on your card, but the only way it'll ever fit with a fan on it is if you go water.

Cuttlefish1212 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I don't want to liquid cool at the moment. I think I'll try the Zalman CNPS 9500...thanks for the suggestions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
