eldiablo10 Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Christmas is coming up soon so I was going to see if someone can get me a VGA cooler. I have XFX 6800GT PCI-E video card. Can anyone suggest a good cooler for me. When I checked the temp of the card it said 60-61C after playing DoD. I want to overclock my video card in the near future and I fo not want to fry it. Ok thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
habitual geek Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) yeah, because it was much hotter than 61*c while playing, probably at least 70*c, check arctic cooling vga silencer this should do you well http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.php?idx=40 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835186133 Edited November 30, 2005 by habitual geek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 If you are wanting air cooling then I would recommend Zalman. They are making some of the best vga air coolers right now. I personally just got the Zalman "Fatal1ty" FS-V7 cooler for my x800xt-pe and it is in a word "awesome". It is a little expensive though with the cheapest I could find it being on ZZF for $45. You can get the Zalman VF700-Cu or Zalman VF700-AlCu for less and it cools almost as good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celcius Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Here's another vote for the zalman. The OCs in my sig were done with the aluminum-copper version, so the fatal1ty should be awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
habitual geek Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 the zalman cools better than the silencer, the thermalright pwns them all, but i recommended the silencer because it is cheaper and easier to put on IMO, if the question had been which one cools the best, Thermalright V1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Nerm, Jab-Tech has it for $37. http://www.jab-tech.com/Zalman-VGA-cooler-...V7-pr-3087.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire_storm Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 The artic coolers work well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifty11212 Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 The artic coolers work well. 587700[/snapback] yea silencer imo have been my favorite especially since it removes hot air from the case, the zalman is good too, but you should have good cooling to deal with in-case exhaust. dunno bout the thermal right, another good performer but not sure how many cards it supports.

After regular UPS ground shipping it would have been $45.14($0.14 more than ZZF) and ZZF was free second day shipping which from jab-tech would have cost $52.76($7.76 more than ZZF). lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
