hi guys, need help in reducing the temperature on my asus 8800gt TOP.....when idle (ie no gaming) it is around 75+ Celcius (is this hot or wat??)

When i do play games, it would fluctuate to around 100+ celcius (I saw 105 'C when i alt tab...dunno what is the average or whether it fluctuates.)

I think i will stick to air based cooling as i do not have the technical know how to handle water cooling.

Anyone have any suggestion on what vga cooler i should get?? i am using a enlight pc lian 007 casing so air flow should not be a prob. Its the stock fan which is not doing a good job of dispensing the heat i think.

My budget is around rm200

And is there any guide on how to install a vga cooler??? first time here and does not want to screw up

i have been doing some research around the forum and most of them recommend the TR HR -03gt or 03 plus or accelero twin turbo. Which one of them is better in term of value for money and what is the likely temperature i will achieve if i use any of them??

And oso i saw something about using thermal compound instead of thermal pads...is there really a big difference?? what comes with the TR and accelero cooler?? pads or the grease??
