IUMaestro Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I support the arctic silencers if ure on air cooling because of the way they dump the heat outside of the case instead of it rising up only to have the CPU heatsink suck in all the warm air.

swifty11212 Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I just orderd an x800pro, i was going to buy a different hsf than the stock one because i plan to OC. I was just wondering what you guys thuoght was the best one for that card? Also any info on cooling graphics or hsf's is apreciated well my x800pro is flashed to a x800xtpe and im using a silencer on it (latest one, cant remember) and it works great. took down load to about 55 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ady1989 Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 the best for graphics cooling (on order): -mod a vapo chill hit onto it -good watercooling -arctic cooling (get one they are nice) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze_Badger Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 You mean an Arctic Silencer, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 the best for graphics cooling (on order): -mod a vapo chill hit onto it -good watercooling -arctic cooling (get one they are nice) Actually, a vapo is a pain in the butt to mod to fit a gpu. A custom unit cools better than a vapo and is normally easier to mod to fit a gpu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ady1989 Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 You mean an Arctic Silencer, right? some people call them AC, but its the same thing Actually, a vapo is a pain in the butt to mod to fit a gpu. A custom unit cools better than a vapo and is normally easier to mod to fit a gpu. i was joking about the vapo chill lol. its hard enough to get it on ur cpu witout condensation.

Nerm Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 i was joking about the vapo chill lol. its hard enough to get it on ur cpu witout condensation. nah, it is a piece of cake to get a phase hooked up to cool a cpu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Good custom air is better then water on a gpu. My 9800pro loads at 48c with the core at 440mhz...if anyone has had a temp probe on their 9800 series they know how awesome that is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammin Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Yeah, but if I remember correctly, you have some socket A monstrosity hanging off it don't you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Yeah, but if I remember correctly, you have some socket A monstrosity hanging off it don't you Its just a lapped Silentboost! Other copper cpu coolers modded up should still cool better then water, only becuase waterblocks for gpus are so small that the block heats up to the point where the water wont cool it fast enough. Its still way better then stock/aftermarket air cooling, but cant compete with the mass of a decent copper cpu cooler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolMaster Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 umm speedfan works, ITE Smart Guardian (on the driver CD), Plus video temp software would work anyway. The easiest method is to just look in the driver control pannel for the card. Second it DL riviatuner and it will even keep a detailed temp graph for you. As for a cooler, the silencers from arctic cooling get my vote, the exaust of the hot air outside of the case wins. The Fatality cooler to me is a waste of money over the reg 700cu from Zalman, and if the Thermalright V1 will actually fit the card, it cools VERY well, but it hardly fits anything so good luck there EDIT: that new VF900 interests me greatly...(love my two CNPS 7000cu CPU coolers btw ) for some reason speedfan doesnt seem to work on mine tho?
