I think if your budget is around rm60-70 then better save some money for the Artic Cooling series of GC cooler that costs rm120-140 at LYP. It's much better and worth the money spend. And mind you it comes with 6 years warranty. Even my extra hot 9800xt can be tamed with Artic Cooling's ATI Silencer.

What about the Artic Silencer Rev 3 ? for ATI's a friend gave me , but no backplate, so i cud not install it. do they sell this parts / loose parts ?? or is the silencer a gonner ? |

Never go for CM Stupid CoolViva.
It performs worse than the stock cooler. Sytrin will be the best choice for air cooler.  |

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.. |

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.... |

Ha ha , i am a Coolviva user .... and i had my X1300 450GHz core Oc to 702MHz ... thats proof that Cool Viva is good in some how ....
Anyway , one thing about Cool Viva is that the Heat disipation area is not so big compare to its volume of Material ... Haha ... Thats means it take in heat fast fsat from the GPU but had a longer time to dissipate it away ... Anyway , not too Hot for normal OC ussage ... Recomended for Low Level GC only ... Now i am going for EVERCOOL TURBO2 to OC my new X1600 GC .. |

i think vc-rf is more suited to be used as a chpset cooler rather than a gpu cooler..
maybe it is suitable to be used as a gpu cooler on a lower end GC which produce less heat.. |

for me
i would put a fan to suck the heat out instead cause my rationality is that pumping air inside does not mean better cooling, the air inside will only get no flow and end up with area of hot air sticking around |

Yesterday, i've been loitering around lowyat plaza waiting for Uglyvamp to start his BBS6, and i go around LYP and stop by at SRI Computers and i saw a Zalman VF900 CU Led...
This is the GPU cooler i'm talking about:  Before this, i thought that that GPU cooler will be much bigger and heavier than it's elder brother VF700 CU... Man, i was amaze by the size and the weight!!! It's much smaller, thinner, and lighter than the VF700 CU!!!  But, don't know how does it perform though... Anyone here have compared the performance of a VF700 CU and a VF900 CU? |

Yeah thats right, i'm using VF900 now bought from Sri Comp and u know what, the VF700Cu is cheaper than VF700AlCu coz they have put wrong price tag Before this, i thought that that GPU cooler will be much bigger and heavier than it's elder brother VF700 CU...

Well, just ordered one unit of HR-03, let's see how well does HR-03 beat my stupid Accelero X2
I believe the HR-03 will beat the X2 easily even without any fan attached on the HR-03... |

kuformula v1 plus has good compatibility with all the card in general ..
furthermore u could mount any type of fan base on ur preference ... 7950GT follow the standard mounting hole ... so should be no problem ... on the safe side better check out the installation progress that's done by the review article compared the card installed against ur 7950GT... |

QUOTE(coolmast3r @ Jan 12 2007, 12:39 AM) haih bro.. kesian le.. some people did take quite a long time to imagine something.. Why bother getting something that is RM135 for a used, and alraedy beaten by a more super powerful heatsink? btw, nice mod. and cheap, too. two thumbs up HR-03 is quite out of my budget.. there's someone selling his sytrin kuformula v1 plus in garage sales.. i'm thinking of getting it, but 1st, how do u think of its' performance? anyone has tried it? and, will it suit my 7950GT? Get an HR-03 liao, you add just a little more, which will give you something that is more powerful. furthermore, it's new! So why bother getting something that is already beaten and 2nd hand thing while you just need to add a little more and you'll get something better and something new. Think about it! If i were you, i will definitely choose something that is more powerful and cheaper as in new unit... Why do i say it's cheap? Because HR-03 is only RM185 for a new unit, while the one u're looking at is RM135 and it's used... Am i right or what? |

Heya guys, I've an ancient 9600 pro lying around mainly because the fan died out. I was wondering if there's any cheap replacement heatsink I could use?
I wanted CM coolviva but sadly not enough clearance. Any other recommendation? No overclocking or whatsoever intended. |

I just bought a coolviva and wan to use it on my 7600GS. But when I open the heatsink, the chip is just about 5mmx5mm while the coolviva heatsink is 2cmx2cm. Can i use coolviva on the GC??

Darn...
My 8800GS is 65degrees in idle... Even an HR-03 can't fit in my graphic card... I've done sending them an email asking for a resolution if the HR-03 could fit in the Nvidia 8800 series... Hope they will reply me with a good answer... |

A great news for those that uses 8800GTX @ 8800GTS that is interested to change the stock heatsink to Thermalright HR-03 - King of the VGA heatsink
I've emailed Thermalright Support, and you guys wanna know something? Thermalright will be releasing a Thermalright HR-03 PLUS!!! It's officially known to support the Nvidia 8800 graphic card series!!! Can't wait for it's release!!! Here's the proof: [attachmentid=184983] |

@shawty
bro not everybody has the cash like us to always purchase good stuffs, also thety wouldnt have known, so no use always saying that get the tr stuffs, coz they wouldnt even bother to go search for it, most probably the saleman at lyn jus tell them the cm is beter or the cap ayam is beter. also not every thing from cm or tt sucks. like the hyper tx, and the ttbtvx , or the new gpu coolers from tt. |

I've used both ATI & Nvidia cards, and remarkably, the Nvidia outperforms ATI cards in both performance and temperatures |

Bro, seriously, i strongly advise you get the Nvidia 7XXX AGP series, coz nvidia graphic cards is very cool mate...Ok, here's why i'm saying it's cool: Below are temps without any overclocking done XFX Nvidia 7900GT - stock heatsink [damn freaking small ] - 55degrees MSI ATI X1800XL - stock heatsink [Believe me, it's damn freaking big, twice the size compared to Nvidia 7900GT stock heatsinks] - 58degrees Yeah, it's just 3degrees difference, but still, if you compare the size of the heatsink, you will know how cool Nvidia graphic card is... In the earlier days, i'm a die hard fan of ATI cards, but after i've used Nvidia graphic card myself, i'm starting to fall in love with it... The performance, the temperatures vary so much!!!  ***I hope i'm not out of topic here, as we are still discussing about graphic card cooling, no darksythe? I don't know bout this, does 7900GT available for AGP platform? If it does, i strongly suggest to you irangan to get either 7900GT @ 7900GS...

I can attest to shawty's remark about how cool the 7 series nvidia GPUs run. I used to have a 6600GT AGP. With stock cooler, it idled at 60+C and load at almost 90C.
Now I'm using a Unika 7900GS, has a pretty good stock cooler that's dualslot, but is basically just a fan embedded in a large heatsink. Idle is 38C and load is 55C. This is even when mildly overclocked to 550/1500. Excellent. |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jan 25 2007, 12:01 AM) Bro, seriously, i strongly advise you get the Nvidia 7XXX AGP series, coz nvidia graphic cards is very cool mate... ya i think the same too but problem is AGP8x Nvidia only have 7300GT, 7600GT and 7800GS. none of it come close to x1950pro in term of performance. according to review and feedback i read on the net (x1950pro agp IceQ3), full load temp is around 56-60'C. it sounds ok ok to me.. havent search for x1950pro on third party heatsink yet.Ok, here's why i'm saying it's cool: Below are temps without any overclocking done XFX Nvidia 7900GT - stock heatsink [damn freaking small ] - 55degrees MSI ATI X1800XL - stock heatsink [Believe me, it's damn freaking big, twice the size compared to Nvidia 7900GT stock heatsinks] - 58degrees Yeah, it's just 3degrees difference, but still, if you compare the size of the heatsink, you will know how cool Nvidia graphic card is... In the earlier days, i'm a die hard fan of ATI cards, but after i've used Nvidia graphic card myself, i'm starting to fall in love with it... The performance, the temperatures vary so much!!! ***I hope i'm not out of topic here, as we are still discussing about graphic card cooling, no darksythe? I don't know bout this, does 7900GT available for AGP platform? If it does, i strongly suggest to you irangan to get either 7900GT @ 7900GS... |

It would be the best cooler for now .. but technology improve ..
so maybe down to the road in few months time there would be new cooler ... who knows.. just keep the money since the price of HR also really ain't cheap .. |

You have to remember this phrase:hav to agree that the HR price is kinda overkill "Good Things Never Comes In Cheap Prices" You want cheap things, then grab an al-cheapo heatsink lor... The price of HR-03 is not overkill, it's suitable with the heatsink itself, look at the heatsink itself, and compare it with other vga heatsink with lower prices, don't you think that the price of HR-03 is suitable? The VF-900 is RM16X, which performs lower, and the heatpipe is only one. while the HR-03 is RM185 from me *ONLY* and the performance is higher, and the heatpipe is 4, then don't you think the price of HR-03 is suitable? |

Yes, the X1950Pro has a line of voltage regulators near the core which need cooling. Now it's handled by the stock heatsink, so if you switch, you'll need to get some heatsinks on that too.
As in terms of price, the HR-03 is actually a good deal IMO @ RM185. Much better than the similarly priced FC-ZV9. It's flexible too in terms of fan configuration and orientation, that alone makes it good value to me. |

I am currently considering a good aftermarket GC cooler to replace my stock Galaxy 7300GT cooler (its not a zalman one) but i do not have any good suggestion on my mind.I had been thinking of getting the Zalman Fatal1ty FC-Z9 VGA cooler but i am still wondering, is there any other good options around?i for one would really love to have a great cooler that not only performs good, but looks great as well.
I know that TR is one of the best VGA cooler around but i am not so much a fan it.Anyway, besides the TR, is there any other great GC cooler around that performs well (and hopefully looks good as well)?I had started to really like the Zerotherm GX810 but i cant really find any useful reviews lying around.Anyone knows how good it is?And considering the fact that its relatively cheap (from Shawty's bulk), i feel it would be a good buy if it performs better than the Zalman at least... |

The reason is most manufacturer would not think that anyone using 7300GT seriously would require an additional after market cooler.....
in most of the aspect u won't need to unless u are using a really restricted airflow case or extreme high OC activity ... maybe u could try to google the layout of ur 7300GT PCB against other NV card that has same layout to determine whether ur card is supported or not ... |

contact them personally and mention the card u are inquiring would be the best ...
since there is possibility that different PCB layout manufactured for the same series .... do be careful as well when u are using card that is originally PCI-E converted to AGP ... there would be extra chip set ...so u need to put in into consideration as well.. |

IIRC, 7300gt and 7600gt lay out is quite similiar. try to compare both of that card. if the layout and the mounting holes is the same, this means that those cooler can fit on 7300gt as said by Doom, sending an email to those manufacturer is the best. |

anyway .. how's the temperature of the card (Core/Voltage Regulator/ Temperature Chip)... i am curious whether single 21cm fan is enough for the whole card... i put dual CM 12 cm fans ... |

the fan clip allowed to hold the 12cm fan with just nice .. but it would bent the clip during long run ...
single 12cm fan on HR apply on ATI high end serious is enough i don't think so ..i am using dual also still need quite amount of fresh air to cool it off.. however more or less it is becoz i am using CM UV fan ..rather than TT blue led .. i can't bear with the noise ..... |

there is one section that display the voltage regulator of the card ..which is in physically is the chips under a long heat sink at end of the card nearby power connector.. that chip should be hot especially when gaming intensely.. @rlhc17 can check it out for me ??? |

well, i'm not using at hardcore cooler. my GC is 7900Gt using stock fan, it reaches up to 58 degree in room temperature full load. so i change the cooler to zalman fata1ty-fs V7 and the temperature drop to only 45 at max full load in room temperature. air con room 40 degree. currently at OC speed 550Mhz/1600Mhz. ^^

The stock cooler is fine, what your opinion of an "acceptable" temperature is will differ from the next person so in the end it's up to you. Sure, if it's cooler it might conceivably have a longer lifetime, but the difference is not enough to affect most people since you'll probably upgrade before the card gives up the ghost anyway.

if u go with zalman, better get VF900CU cuz VF700CU not capable of expelling heat from new graphic card. VF700CU are more intended for 6series |

Like said by other forummer, VF700 is more for older cards. Not good enough to cool any of those 'new' cards like x1900 series or 7900 series. By the way, the pricing difference between vf700 and vf900 only RM 60 or 70.

Just got the time to assemble the Zerotherm on my 7300GT and it does look gorgeous.Way bigger than my old stock Galaxy HSF.Didnt have the time to upload the pictures as i am still at my hometown.Will do so when i got back to KL..
Anyway, these are the relative result i got on the Zerotherm.To be honest, i dont really know how to do testing.All of these temperature i got from the Nvidia Ctrl Panel.If any of you wanted more accurate ones, do let me know which program i should use and what i should do..lol... These are the results using Zerotherm GX810 using the supplied silver TIM.Will change to AS5 when i get back to KL : At stock speed (500/1400) : GX810 IDLE - 47c LOAD - 52c Stock HSF IDLE - 53c LOAD - 58c At OC speed (550/1500) : GX810 IDLE - 49c LOAD - 54c Stock HSF IDLE - 56c LOAD - 60c This post has been edited by akachester: Feb 21 2007, 11:16 AM |

Got myself a Zalman VF900CU. Came with fan controller and 8 pcs ram sinks.
Test GC: Leadtek PX 7900GS TDH Thermal Paste: AS5 OC S/w: ATi Tool 0.26 Fan speed for VF900CU is at max (2600RPM, but still silent) Its a simple test where idle is wait 30 secs from any activity. Load is max temp from log files after i run the 3dmark06 SM3 test Just wanna give the bros an indication of this baby's cooling ability (and I am too free) Stock Speed: Core 450, Mem 660 a) Stock HSF: Idle - 52, Load - 64, 3dmark06 Sm3 score - 1650 b) VF900CU: Idle - 40, Load - 48, 3dmark06 Sm3 score - 1632 OC Speed: Core 540, Mem 760 a) Stock HSF: Idle - 51, Load - 68, 3dmark06 Sm3 score - 1929 b) VF900CU: Idle - 43, Load - 50, 3dmark06 Sm3 score - 1925 OC Speed: Core 555, Mem 780 a) Stock HSF: Idle - 51, artifacts oredi b) VF900CU: Idle - 44, Load - 51, 3dmark06 Sm3 score - 1975 Basically its a sweet cooler that reduces GC temps by ~20% for my case. O/C ability of course depends on card. Silent, Steady GC cooler that's *quite* expensive but the size is small compared with some other monster size solutions.

QUOTE(techPowerUp!) At this year's CES, Arctic Cooling unveiled their completely passive Accelero S Series. The coolers use heatpipes to transfer heat from the GPU to a large radiator-like surface that covers the whole video card. LinkInitially there will be two versions: The Accelero S1 and the Accelero S2. The Accelero S1 is the high performance version featuring four heatpipes and supports: Radeon X1800, X1900, X1950 GeForce 6800, 7800, 7900 and 7950 Series. 8800 cards are not supported at this time. If you are looking for additional cooling performance or have very little airflow in your case you can install an additional Turbo Module that uses an active fan to improve cooling. The Accelero S2 supports all low end and midrange cards ranging from Radeon 9xxx to X1650 and GeForce 4 to GeForce 7600. Compared to the S2 it has a smaller surface area and only two heatpipes, at a lower price. The Turbo Module can be installed here as well. Seems like there are two ver. + can mount fan on it, but what fan size??? by looking at their dimension, i hoping it can fit 120mm fan on it damn, it covers the whole vga area » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «  Radeon X1950XTX and CF cooled passively [Link] the cooler so big, even can see the vga doin CF wonder what's the minimum case size for this cooler to fitThis post has been edited by E-J@1: Feb 24 2007, 10:30 PM |

There's two version of Arctic Cooling S GPU Cooler
S1 & S2 The S1 has four heatpipes. The S2 only has two heatpipes. Quoted from Theinquirer QUOTE The Accelero S1 sports four heat pipes and there will be a cheaper model with two heat pipes as well. It works with all cards up to Geforce 7950GT and Radeon X1950 XTX. The big cooler is taller than the average graphic card but it will do the job quietly. Larger picture:  But something stupid about this new heatsink is, it's newly launched, but Arctic Cooling don't even bother to make it applicable to Nvidia 8800 GFX Series. What the hell is those swiss engineers were thinkin'? |

VF900CU is as simple to install too. I kept the vf900cu in my cupboard because after installing it on my x1950pro. It didnt cool the VRM of the card, so the card will get overheated for sure. Anyway, why u keep that Zalman away?It cant fit or not good for your ATI? The ZEROtherm might be one of the easiest cooler to be installed on a GC as far as i can see.All you need to do is poke the screw into your GC PCB and screw the other end..And you are done... I recieved an official reply from Zalman too and it said vf900cu is not recommended for x1950 series cards. Asked me to wait for the latest zalman vga cooler that going to release soon.

I cant seem to find the answer anywhere but after thinking bout it again & again, how stupid am i for not noticing it, it surely fits 120mm fan, cause:  1st: see the dimension for S2 (the 2 Heatpipe), 140(L) x 188(W) x 32(H) mm, from the dimension only u already can know it will fit 120mm 2nd: okay, let say it cannot fit 120mm fan on it, instead 90mm can, then there will be some area of the heatpipe not gonna cool off, cause the 90mm fan won't able to cover the area of the extended heatpipe if 2x90mm fan can cover the whole length of the cooler, but not the it's width... can u imagine using 90mm fan on Ultra-120 or Noctua NH-U12 then this will be the 1st VGA Cooler that can mount 120mm fan on it i'm also impress with it's weight, only 202g now just left to know is the minimum case size for it seeing the pic also make me scared of the clearance issue macam nak terkeluar je cooler tu u even can't see the other X1950XTX cause being block by the top cooler, damn, so big see the S1, if cannot mount 120mm fan, i dunno what to say la, what bout the other 2 heatpipe at each end, how it gonna cool off  This post has been edited by E-J@1: Feb 25 2007, 04:20 PM |

Yes, the cable is very long.Roughly about 10cm if i had not mistaken.Well, i never tried it with a fan controller before though.Maybe i would give it a shot after i get myself one.Since i had never push it to full speed yet, i still cant give any oppinion on the noise level but currently, its very silent and you wont hear any noise after you close the side panel.Even with side panel opened, you still hardly hear any noise..Definitely more silent than my Zalman Fatal1ty CPU Cooler for sure...I wonder if you can fix the speed of the fan via fancontroller... |

Thank for The Info bro.
I have this MCW50 VGA WAterblock. But it seems that i have to get an optional Fitting kit in order to use it, which i dunt think is easilt attainable. So i might just look for a Air cooling Heatsink for the VGA. ANy other suggestions ? |

I see that you have another PCI card right below the GC.Maybe you will need to check out the space available to you and make sure that specific cooler is going to fit in nicely..For 6600, i guess Zalman would do the job quite well and is easily available.

ur 6600 is AGP right??? does it have a HSI Bridge chip? if it does...check to make sure ur HSI bridge heatsink is SEPERATE from ur main GPU heatsink. otherwise...ur gonna have a tough time finding a cooler that can fit ur GC.

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..

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. |

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 ... |

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?

QUOTE(akachester @ Mar 15 2007, 12:11 AM) 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 |

As long as the fans connected to mobo added up taken not more than 1 AMP. It's fine to get power from mobo.

Or, if you want to overclock your 9250 kaw kaw, i suggest you get the Evercool Turbo 2
I manage to overclock my old 9550 from 250MHz more than the stock speed [i didn't remember the stock speed of my 9550 d] without any Vmod done. Already sold it about two years ago. Plus, the Evercool Turbo 2 is only RM85 which is much much better than the Evercool VC-RF |

Well, since the first day Nvidia produced the 7900GTO / 7900GTX with that kind of heatsink design, there's numerous heatsink manufacturers have been copying the design of the 7900GTO / GTX heatsink.
First, Arctic Cooling, Then Zalman, And now, Gaygaybytes also copied the design of the 7900GTO / 7900GTX heatsink. Seems like the original design sure gives a good performance. But one thing though, none of the copycat heatsinks support Nvidia G80 platform. |

Going to get it somewhere next week. http://www.coolermaster.com/installation_m...lViva%20Pro.pdf I'd say no if i were you. Check that heatsink properly and you'll understand. All those 3rd party VGA heatsinks that incorporate both memory & gpu cooler in one heatsink is a "no-no". Why? Because this will result to the memory heat to be transferred to the GPU which will result to worse temperature compared to stock heatsink that cools the GPU separately with memory. My opinion, don't buy that VGA Cooler. |

My opinion, don't buy that VGA Cooler. If it does, why ramsink is provided ? From the picture itself, it is so damn clear that the base only contact with the GPU. It is better to ask for plague's budget first. Since we all know coolermaster is not performing real good. If plague having limited budget, it is quite ok to get it. Btw, do you mean Artic Silencers were bad too since the heatsink cools both GPU and Memory? I doubt it. The memory chips aren't really that hot to bring up the GPU's temp |

I agree with LittleLinnet. The large heatsink only made contact with the GPU,as for the memory, ramsinks are provided. Budget? Well don't have any. It's just that this cooler is pretty much cheaper than other competitors. And guess what? It performs on par with zalman VF900-Cu. Don't believe me? Here's the links
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/d...viva-pro_5.html http://www.ocia.net/reviews/cmcoolviva/page4.shtml There's more. Try googling |

Yes.The memory chips aren't really that hot to bring up the GPU's temp Silencers X1 and X2 were BAD. How do i know? Because i've tested both of them before. And after switching those coolers to other 3rd party coolers, the other 3rd party coolers performs much much better than the Silencer X1 & X2 I don't just talk, i talk with experience. Well, my bad for saying that the new coolviva is using the same principal as the silencer X1 and X2. Because the new coolviva looks exactly the same like the silencer X1 and X2. But still, my opinion on the X1 and X2 is bad won't change, they sucks, sucks very very much. |

I never said that you just talk though. The X1 and X2 is not really made for overclocker and those people who doesn't have well ventilated airflow inside the case. They are made for those silent freak who cant stand the stock cooler's noise. So, comparing them with other 3rd party coolers will be never a ending story, sure there are other coolers which is better. This post has been edited by LittleLinnet: Apr 5 2007, 09:41 PM |

Better?At the post before, you said they were worse than stock cooler, that is just plain rubbish. If you're talking about silent, yes, they win. But if you're talking about cooling performance? No, they sucks! I've tried it on my X1800XL & my 7900GT before. Even if the stock heatsink is more noisy, but with the stock heatsink being so small, the temperatures after switching to X1 & X2 is worse than the stock heatsink!!! The X1 & X2 only wins on it's silent performance, cooling performance, they suck! It's up to you either to believe it or not, but to me, they suck! Dude, think of one thing, i'm a seller of Arctic Cooling Heatsinks, and next week, i'll be putting the X1 & X2 in that sales too. Think why i've been condenming them when i'm going to sell it? It's because it's the truth. To me, their performance are no better than the stock heatsink, yes they only have a plus point in being a very silent heatsink, but on cooling performance, it's a no-no.

No?Well, for now, The S2 does not support those new G80 series, as S2 is the only one that is officially launched by Arctic Cooling. We don't know about the S1 yet. |

Can current 3rd Party GC HSF be used on newer versions of GC aka those DX10 ones? I am thinking of changing to a new GC but i am worried that my current Zerotherm could not be used on those and that would be a real waste..

if u are reffering to 8800 series the answer would be no, only HR-03 Plus edition from themalright that specially designed to fit the larger chipset size of the G80 able to work properly on 8800 series.
I am not sure for 8600 series as it's just released. |

sorry if my answer disturb any1 n pls don't flame me... i've tried 8800gts 320mb n it doesn't perform as well as 7950gx2 n only about the same as 7900gtx on some of the games i play which is still using dx9... mainly gtr2, carbon, age of empire III, rise of legend, cs (very old), so that's y i opt for 79 series lor... as dx10 games not out yet, not vista user yet, n i wan to save more $$$ to buy bigger lcd, wanted to have a 24" monitor so i can watch tv (astro) on it while resting on my bed... but when dx10 games is out n if i like the games then, hmm i'll sure buy 1 but i guess dat time is 89 series aldi... hehehe
... well i'll try a foxconn 8600gts (on another pc) next week when it reach my house... (got it coz fren offer very cheap)... so back to topic, got cooler for 7950gx2 ar??? sigh, wanted to do very simple vmod on it n the stock cooler is just crap... |

@HaHaNoCluE
Hmm of course loh, 8800GTS 320mb will suffer at higher resolution,, even 640mb will do just fine. If u want nth wrong then GTX is the only solution which often way out of budget for most people.. this is not USA after all. People can't afford some thing extreme... I am not sure how u set the games, but i have run the following game at max detail with AA and AF at maximum as well. Exp: C&C 3, Tomb Raider: Legend, WTCC, COH, Ghost Recon Advanced War Fighter. I dont experience serious lagging only minor lag when there are too many units for strategy game.... further more i think the cooler on 8800 series works well by exhaust the hot air out directly ... which the main reason i didn't bother of changing the cooler ... but it wont be the same for GX2 .... no option on third party cooler besides WC ... @akachester yah there's never any air cooler for it due to the strange size and number of users that are minimal... only WC block was designed for it due to demand of extreme OCker...

And it depends on what type of TIM you use too.
If you use those chapalang white thermal paste, you won't notice any differences, and it may be giving u a lower performance than the stock heatsink. |

QUOTE(DaRkSyThE @ Apr 21 2007, 09:46 PM) what HSI thing? i think u need to elaborate further. If i am not wrong, HSI = High Speed Interconnect chip which is used in the 6600 AGP cards. It got something to do with PCIE protocol used in AGP.Some sort of communication thingy. I should google more and check about it..lol...This is the main problem that causes 6600AGP card to be not compatible with alot of third party GC coolers out there...Well, its stated in TR's website that the HR-03 would not fit onto the 6600AGP because its unable to cover the HSI chips. Anyway, just realise this at the bottom : ※AGP HSI bridge chip not covered but a solution is in development, to be completed in February 2007 Not sure its already available or not, cause if it is, then HR-03 would be a great choice for the 6600AGP This post has been edited by akachester: Apr 21 2007, 10:02 PM |

hmmm .. the release of this V2 indicates the rise of copper cooler again ??? I really don't understand what it's been designed for ..
can't just Thermalright starts to design blower type of heat sink that able to push the heat out from the case easily .... i still don't like the idea to keep the hot air inside of the case and only wait for it to be dissipated out from the case through the rear fan ... |

it can be done if the owner only has a gpu n no other device... but is it useful when put it into casing??? or maybe the new tr gpu cooler better n i guess price oso very close... i think they only do that when they r doing benchmarking, not for all day long pc usage...

It's very large and takes too much space. Besides it's freaking heavy and stresses the PCB. Wouldn't be wise mounting it on longer cards like 8800GTX etc. |

Or use the programe detect the speed by temperature ? i didnt use any program to detect the needs for the GC fan to run full speed.i'm using vista preset graphic driver for my nvidia 7600gt. and when starting games, the fan will spin at full speed. Other than games, opening the window of MSN, Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Media Player 11 will make the fan spin at full speed too. in my experience, vista requires more graphic detail processing (AERO effect) than xp. Maybe it is all about the drivers that control the fan speed. U can check the the driver software to configure ur gc's fan speed if it has the controllability of the fan. |

Ok i installed the smartDorctor for my fan control ( asus card software )
For firstly i use my GC, when play game run full speed, no run game not full speed. But sometime i heard the sound like ( let say fan speed 1,2,3 1 = slow 2 =normal 3= full speed ) 2 suddently become 1 then turn back 2. At that time i'm just search net or downloading something. Is it ok for my GC's fan ? This post has been edited by vincent09: May 21 2007, 09:29 AM |

But too bad their product are priced higher than most of those available out there..Not just that, they always wanted their customer to purchase more extra stuff such as those adapters and mounting plate just for their CPU Coolers etc. Not to mention you will need to purchase a fan as well which makes me drop out from my plan last time in getting the HR-03.

These few day feel 1 thing about my GC stock fan....
When i didn't start the smart doctor ( asus GC software, fan speed control ) let say the fan run 30%, start smart doctor fan run 59%, running game fan speed 100%. The problem is when it idle didn't do anything, the fan will run 59% ( normal is like that ) but suddently it slow down to 30% and back to 59% ( around 3 sec when low down ). Is it normal for that? |

Em, anything can do for low down the GC usage when my pc still downloading or scanning virus?
Because that fan always running 50% quite noisy at midnight. If low down the speed i scare the GC will heat up. |

That had been posted somewhere last time. i think had been announced during the time when TR announce the 120Extreme and IFX. Seems promising but you will need some crazy speed fan to really help the copper dissapate the heat..

yep. copper transfer heat faster and must need a good fan to cool it. else, heat accumulate faster and will reverse the cooling effect. need high cfm fan paired with good copper heatsink to do the job
