I think asus TOP is one of the high flying 8800GT's in the market. Tell you what bro, wait till 9 series out, people get crazy and sell their 8800GT's cheap in garage sale.

my zotac with s1 using cap ayam 2x 90mm fan... your fn91 is good stuff.
Most probably it's the thermal paste not applied properly.....perhaps u need to apply it again.
My thermal paste in S1 is stock bcos lazy to reapply. Check ur casing airflow too.
Do a quick atitool artifact scan before n after reapplication then see what happens.
Mine 49C after 10 minutes, idles at 44C.


I think 50% faster also not enuff for 22' display
If using d10x at max settings, framerates drops to 15fps during certain action scenes.
Crysis requirement is crazy!

play crysis at 22" 1680x1050 high setting on dx9, the lowest i've seen is 8fps! it's at the part close to end of games.
but mostly around 30+ fps.

30+ FPS should be great already to play the game.

Mine on average was only 20+ FPS.
I guess I don't have enough of RAM and slow processor.

Yeah, that might affects too. No worries, I'm playing around 20-30 FPS at 1680x1050 with high settings too.

Most notice lag of crysis is when the frost beam broke out and freeze the doctor inside the cave....I'm playing in DX10 mode.

Perhaps Crysis is striped down game from the crytek supercomputer edition?

found this article, any wanna give it a try?
Easy Homebrew 8800GT Cooling for Less Than $10 (or Free!)

The last pic with card board dun understand haha.

Get a better fan blowing wind into the gfx card?

same i don't understand the last pic, anybody explain?

btw... so the picture 2 and third picture mean it sux the air out from the gc?

Read Page 4 of the article, basically the original shroud has a fan hole that's too small for the case fan they use, so they took it off and made a shroud out of cardboard with a bigger hole.

Oic haha......running on gprs connection here so clicking a link will b slow to death haha.

Many mod with 8800GT but i can say this mod "coolness" is a not.

u guys with the gigabyte 8800gt turboforce...did u guys modify the fan speed or just leave it as it is?

Is it true the zalman fan is set to 100% speed constantly?

I left the setting as it is. Anyway I have tried adjusting the fan speed, seems like no difference (no increasing fan sound, if you get what i mean)

I leave the fan as it is too. Not sure if it's at 100%, but the card's pretty silent so didn't bother checking

do u use rivatuner for fan spd adjustment? what speed it show?

How about the temp of the Gigabyte 8800GT 512 MB TurboForce Edition

to sotong168: i think riva tuner cannot adjust the gigabyte 8800gt turboforce Fanspeed.

my turboforce is idle-ing at 55 and load at high 70s. Yeah, its damn high. Open side panel in a non-aircon room with 1 ceiling fan. I think I have airflow issues,

no way im giving my baby to wear a cardbox..NEVER!!

but ur temperature is still consider low comapre to other 8800gt with stock fan, rite?

does ur turboforce comes with software to adjust the fan speed?? bcoz i just bought the same gc as urs, but still hav to wait until sunday b4 i can play with it.

by the way, i'm gonna be a proud owner of a 8800gt!!
