Yes it does. But the HSI bridge Heatsink is Separate. sO no problem
Is it possible for me to replace that HSI heatsink ?

i wud definitely check out VF700 and VF900.

Thanks.

Another piece of advice is that check out the compatibility list to make sure that specific cooler will fit.Maybe emailling the support team of specific manufacturer will help clear things up as well...Zalman should be your best bet right now for cheap and good cooler..

can get the card from the bulk section.

there are a few sellers there selling the card. just make sure to lookout for the one that comes with the Zalman fan coz theres also a version that comes with the small fan.

coolviva pro good or not? Planning to get 1 normal hsf for my x1600pro..

NO!! dont get that.. you are dumping your money to the sea if you get that. Get the Zalman VF700 series if you are tight on budget. OR the improved version Zalman VF900 series.

Perform MUCH MUCH better than coolviva.

Oh ya... If you can find those vga cooler from PC Cooler, grab that too. Very cheap and nice.

my 6600gt agp is hot man.~~!!! thinking of getting cheap2 vga cooler...does anyone ever tried evercool turbo 2heatpipe VGA cooler??how's it;s performance??FMO, it got potential to be mod, like mounting better airflow fans on it...??

can anyone suggest me a heatsink for my msi 7300gt 256mb ddr2.. its passive heatsink, want to replace with better and want to oc to da max..

You want the best where can let you oc your 7300GT like mad?
Look no further, go for Thermalright HR-03!!!

better yet go waterccoling.

WC on 7300GT.. that's insane.. LOLZ

Just get a zalman vf900cu. good enough IMO

i don't know bout gDDR2 card, but mine once ran 110°C for entire 3DMark05 session - still kicking 455 with no artifacts or watsoever

well, honestly after voltmodding and such, it becomes extremely hot.
i doubt the VF 900 can handle it

mADmAN,
don't you think that HIS stock heat sink is good enough? i'm using HIS ATI 1300 stock HIS heatsink and it's not really hot.. i think the heat sink is big enough to dissipate heat.
do correct me if i'm wrong. thanks

i can't seems to check the temperature though... the GC don't seems to carry temperature probe..

for lower end model of ATI there's no way to check the temperature ...

however it wont produce too much of heat as well...

you could get HR-03 from Hworang45 mini bulk..

check out the bulk section ...

i found 1 pccooler same like zalman vf700 for rm89.99 but it is in aluminium. Worth to buy?

Where?

digital mall there..

Guys, i have a problem here.My 7300GT and my cousin's 7600GS both comes with a 2pin connector on a GC.The stock cooler on the GC uses a 2pin connector but when we change to a 3rd party cooler, they normally come with a 3pin connector?Is there any solution in changing the 3pin connector into a 2 pin one or we are left with the only solution we are using now as in using this 3pin connector built on the mobo?

u can find a 2pin to 3pin converter (don't ask me where to find it, i dunno)

better use the 3pin converter, lessen the burder of the vga to provide power to the cooler & don't connect the 3pin to the mobo as well, same thing, burden the mobo to provide power, just connect directly to 4pin molex la (which is directly from the psu power source), i said this bcoz of my experience

i got two mobo...
mobo one: all the 3pin on that mobo connects to a fan
mobo two: all fan connects directly to 4pin molex, including the cpu fan, luckily my psu got rpm reader, so i plug that into the cpu fan pin, thus avoiding the mobo to shut down (the mobo will shut down if no fan connects to the cpu --> unless u amend the BIOS to ignore it)...

mobo one: always end up for RMA --> every 6 month (ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe)
mobo two: still standing after 3 years, no RMA

E-J@1,
but normally mobo comes with those connectors,
what i'm trying to say is that the manufacturer should have cater enough energy consumption for the MOBO to supply to the fans,
do you re-wire your GC fan to the Molex for power?
