No problem.. no affect the main chip

just got Evercool VC-RHC{TURBO 2} for my old Gigabyte 6600GT ...

performance quite good ... stock idle 50, load 73 , now idle 42 load 52 ...

Threadstarter, have you got you're own Aftermarket Cooling for you're 6600GT?

Share with us here...

Hmm been thinking lately......Seeing all the coolers at the market but havent decide.Well I've saw the Coolermaster's coolerviva (kinda cool with the heatpipe)but dunno is it good or not.Selling darn cheap at rm45 by moderno.I wonder does it do the job of cooling....what ya guys think?

Changing the stock hearsink = no more warranty.

Well, CoolViva doesn't work that well you know...
But, it's good for older card like 9550, 9600 and 9800...

And it's good for the older Nvidia cards too...

Don't know about 6600 temperature though...

forget about coolviva..its crap to fix it in place

best option for 66gt is still vf700 series from zalman..

A fren of mine had a bad experience wif the CoolViva 2 years ago, where the base surface if the heatsink didnt have proper contact wif the gpu core..
when he turned his pc on, artifacts were everywhere..and when he replaced back stock hsf, the artifacts are still there..so he threw out his gc..which was a 5700u..

my recommendation for a 6600gt, the zalman vf700cu, or the sytrin kuformula vf-1

The problem is, it's hard to find Sytrin heatsink nowadays...

Go for the VF700, can't go wrong with it honestly. I have a FS-V7 running on my 6600GT with the core @ 550MHz. With the FS-V7 at only 5V, load temps don't breach 72°C which is perfectly fine by me.

My current card temp was like 70c default and higher by playing some games.
Well I guess price did concern about the quality of one product...haha.
I would like to go with zalman though.....after yer guys recommend.
Anyone here at lowyat selling vf700 for better price?

Got myself VF700 AlCu now.........nice a drop of temp from 68C to 56C..playing games just 62-65C.......Good cooler!!
But then all the ram sink wont fit in.....pity.

thread starter, there is still got warranty for your card if you change your stock vga cooler. just make sure that dont leave mark on your core. e.g. scartch(<< wrong spelling) mark and etc. when you want to send back for warranty, just change back to your stock cooler. should be no problem.

To add up, just make sure u didn't tear up the warranty sticker on the graphic card or any other hardware...

Try to take out the sticker without ruining it slowly, and patiencely...
