[SOLVED] Opinions on Graphics card cooler please?

**WereBo** · 11-27-2009, 08:30 PM

Hi guys

Since swapping from the F@H CPU client to GPU client, my GEForce 9800GT (1Gb DDR3) has hotted up by about 20C, from around 49-51c to 60-71C.

I know it's within the max 105C, but I'm not trusting the onboard stock fan/cooler to remain a good solution, so I've been browsing around for an appropriate cooler and discovered this:

Arctic Cooling Accelero XTREME 9800 VGA Cooler

Any opinions or recommendations of anything better please?

http://www.overclock.co.uk/product/T...oler_6677.html is also very good but doesnt really matter what you get it will be better then stock

Thanks Forcifer, I think I'll go with the 'Accelero XTREME', mainly cos the 'Thermalright' is out of stock

It's good to see if there's any alternatives that I may have missed though

ahaha yea. either of those will be about as good as it gets for air cooling. now if you wanted to watercool...thats a whole different story
