As you all know I’ve been look’n into VGA coolers I’ve already ordered a few but that

doesn’t mean I can’t order some more right? I was looking at the Thermaltake Extreme

Giant III that stats are nice on it anyone here used it? Is it any good on the newer cards of today?

I'd never attach something that big to my card. The stock cooler I have now is working perfectly and keeps my temps low even under the most demanding workloads. Consider whether you really NEED it before you buy it.

ok forget that then so what would you recomend...?

ebackhus · 08-13-2005, 10:21 AM

What card are we talking about here?

TheBlob · 08-13-2005, 07:36 PM

GeForce 7800 GTX the thing generates alot of heat so i am willing to go where no man

has gone before to cool this stupid thing

ebackhus · 08-13-2005, 10:29 PM

What's wrong with stock? Are you planning to OC it?

TheBlob · 08-13-2005, 11:50 PM

Nothings wrong with it other then the fact that the damn card is running at 75c and

raising it’s the only thing generating heat in my case and I find that to be ridiculously high something must be done.

Note: overlock it and it would probably blow up at these temperatures.

Hmm, even with a new cooling system it'll still release heat into the case. Consider first a slot cooler that exhausts hot air.
