Hiya guys, currently im using Inno3D 7600GST......the idle temp is at 49c, full load at around 67c. I don't dare to oc anymore.........FYI, i dun hav a good airflow in ma casing, as my soundcard blocking the way...here's the pic


So, can anyone pls reckon me a good gc cooler which is compatible with my gc...My budget is below RM100...slightly over RM100 oso can...Thx in advance...

Get a VF700. Should be about RM130/

get evercool turbo 2

I think in bulk section this thing cost around Rm150......not sure tho....gonna check em out later...

Edited: ops..my mistake....it's at RM135.....will think bout it.....anymore cooler??

i think an artic silencer would probably be better......unless u decide to remove ur sound card then get the vf-700

fitting a vf700 with the sound card will be tight... and the cooler might not get much air there... but the silencer... the fan will be sticking out so it should be able to get more air...

y ur sc n gc so near one? wat mobo u use?

hmm.....i wont sacrifice my soundcard cuz my mobo's built in audio sux...Artic Silencer?? Which 1??

Im using Biostar TForce6100-939....it's a mATX mobo with only 2 pci slots..... And it's normal for mATX mobo.....

Why lar matx board on an atx case???

In this case there aren't much option unless u rid the soundcard since most decent coolers are double slot.

or



ps: Sorry for the recycled pic...I think this should be the 6th time I posted it...hahahahhaha

nice pic!! Hahaha...i think aircon should do better than a table fan...

OT: why mATX cant put into ATX casing?? Then later wanna upgrade to ATX mobo oso can use back the ATX casing ma....

i think aircond not better.because aircond it's cool ur envy.when cool air come to ur casing,it's change to hot air faster because no venticulation like table fan.table fan compress air direct to ur case.sure whole inside casing macam ribut.

make sure u clean it everyweek or it will be more habuk inside ur casing.

for my expirence...

Artic Cooling VGA Sliencer's Design will more good...

You can use the Evercool Turbo 2 heatsink...
For better solutions for you to use it, you have to put some heat on the heatpipe, and bend it so it so the fins and the fans would be facing the side panel...

By doing this, u didn't just cool the heatsink more, but you'll also cool that soundcard chipset...

Someone in lowyat.net have done it before...
Lemme find some pictures for you aa...

Wait aa...
I'm looking for it...

OK, found it already...
Click on the link below...
There's some pictures showing how u should bend the heatpipe so that it would be facing the sidepanel, so it'll have more airflow and how it wouldn't get blocked with your soundcard...

Here's the link:
Evercool Turbo 2 Heatpipe Bending...

Look at the 2nd post and click at all those picture...

heating heatpipe?? i think another thread reported a blow up heat pipe, and the debris nearly hit his eye.

be extra careful lo.

Heatpipes are at least a bendable to a certain extent without heating...what Allngap did in the other thread was funny...he's trying to cook the darn heatsink.. that's why it exploded

how about put 12cm fan on the side panel?

wow....tat's cool.....but a bit sked it'll explode...

Well...that can be done as well. It's just a matter of the approach on solving the problem.

You can:

1) Optimise to achieve the same result by using less fan/less noise

2) The breaking an egg with a nuclear missle approach by hanging a maximum amount of fans everywhere.

Personally I don't like blowholes and side panel fans due to the noise...even if it's slow spinning... there'll be noise leakage from the case.

Hahaha...
Then the only thing you can do is use the Evercool Turbo 2 heatpipe cooler, heat the pipe a little,
(not to cook the heatpipe, just do it by using a lighter)
bend it to face the side panel, and you're done!!!

i got no guts to bend the heatpipe.....if something goes wrong, kaboom.....
