maybe this COOLVIVA is for those GC which comes with a passive heatsink....

or i think, better DIY a FAN CARD.

Blow directly to ur GC card.

how do you plan to do that? or why don't you guyz try out the Sytrin KuFormula VF1 Plus??

erm.... DIY ur own FAN CARD.

Use 2 x 80mm Fans , sufficient Cable ties and an empty pci slot and bracket.


the styrin KuFormula VF1 Plus is cool... but not in the budget now, have something more important to get....

ahhh.. great idea.. then y dun you try it?

Coolviva really sucks leh...Sytrin pulak too mahal..Buat sendiri takut rosak...hahaha

I use 2 x 90mm fan that blow directly to gc hs ..temp decrease abt 5-6C

cheers

hmm.. how bout vantec iceberq 5?? hehehe.. how many times have i said this?

try getting vga silencer rev3, by arctic cooling. try asking around for 2nd hand, or get from bulk. takes away 1 pcie slot, but exhausting the hot air outside is a big plus. also the heatsink is large. em.. wait.. im not sure whether it fits.. lol~

but anything from arctic cooling is nice if u ask me. extra few rm10 is not much compare to the satisfaction u'll get. if u r getting the coolviva, or vantec iceberg, then later though it wasnt enough.. then u'll be spending more searching for something else, then ur budget suddenly doubled, and already enuff to get the styrin ku formula in the first place..

anyway, it's ur call..

done it already

been using it for quite sometime.....

the artic cooling is really nice, i do agree.....

pricing is not that bad,

try getting the artic silencer rev 3....

i saw in the bulk selling for rm 20 -30 more than a cool viva.

GOOD LUCK,,,

i'm thinking of getting that too.....

and your're still not satisfies with the DIY setup? put some vantec tonardo's or delta high pawered fans la.. sure will be cool wan..

erm...

not satified , erm... maybe....

but i am satisfied actually....

maybe need a better HSF for the GPU it self.

owh well, until then, i am fine now...

DELTA's and Tornado'es is gonna make my PC sound like a VACUUM CLEANER

nvm la.. cool pc mar.. price to pay.. or not ma water cooling..

hehe....

WaterCOOLING !! on da way..... Student Budget CIPUT JER....

anyways....

i solved my problem, went to the shop, the constant pc hang is because of the driver, so the fella gave me a new one, well gonna try it later...

HOPE IT WORKS

got my vga silencer rev.3 oledi..
2nd hand one..onli rm40..

gpu temp before install the silencer: 60 C (idle)
gpu temp after installing the silencer: 54 C(idle)

woah... got ur silencer, it sure worked well....

anyways,

i uninstalled my old driver and software for the graphic card..
Now i am using the new driver the shop gave, its called Omega for Radeon,
anyways i managed to finish the scene in AGE OF EMPIRE 3 that i always get stuck at... DARN...

but it still hangs.... any other solution ??

i already have an exhaust fan right under the card... sucking air from the card to the rear of the pc....

or shud i put a FAN CARD that pushes air towards the card ??

hmm.. since you said it was your driver.. why don't you go back to your card manufacturer and download the drivers? or not go to ATi and download the universal drivers for your card..

thanks -vip3rleon9-,

maybe i wud download the universal driver...

the driver i originally used was the one that came with the card, from xpertvision, and i tried searching around in xpertvision and found the same driver, so i guess what the heck, its the same,
and maybe its not, so i'm gonna go and give it a try today....

go and try the ati omega driver laa..

i am currently using the ati omega driver rite now....

its good to say that , i am able to finish a scene in the AOE3 game,
but its also sad to say that in the second scene it wud hang. weird....

at least its better than the one that came with the card.

JOM ALIFF TAMAN U , COOLERMASTER

hadeh..coolmast3r laa..isk..
CoolerMaster tu orang laen..xknal pun..
Nak lepak aliff?buleh jer..
maybe esok boleh kot..maybe kuar tgk bola ngan member2..

btw..how come your card behave like dat aar?
maybe overheating..just like my 9800xt when using the ol' icerberq 4.
(the stock cooler died, remember? }
sometime hangs when i tried to play nfs most wanted and other 3d games
the only solution was to push the reset button....hadeh..
(take note it is just sometimes..)
now no problem since using ati silencer..
