Why can't the manufacturer of graphics card partner with manufacturer of coolers? Would love to see how they come up with enthusiast board. Throw away free games, I want a good heatsink.

there is a brand (can't recall) comes with zalman vf1000
btw, the stock vs vf1000 temp reading:

Here are some of the popular manufacturer's 8800GT which sports custom coolers. Hopefully they arrive in Malaysia very soon.


ASUS


Leadtek


MSI


Gigabyte

there is also the custom coolered Palit 8800GT SONIC which is already here(in Garage Sales, at least)

I know those...but what about high end heatsinks? Come on...XFX paired with Thermalright. Now that'll be cool.

Check it out here.

if any of the above retails for below rm900, then ill surely hit it

I think they'll retail for RM1k and below...which is still reasonable.

The ASUS version already retails the same price as the standard cooler version in Singapore.

Prices in Singapore are way much cheaper than in Malaysia...wish I could ask my bro to get one.

Yeah..and they got lots of stocks too.
Anyway, the standard cooler on 8800GT is starting to get me worried. My friend's MSI crashed after like 10 mins of playing "Stranglehold".

Seems like 8800GT ain't doing well with standard coolers...or is it because they overclocked too much?

looks like many people with OC card crashed with stock cooler.
how about non-oc card? any crash so far?

dont know why people having this problems..
i have 8800gt zotac amp version..
playing nfsps, crysis, cod4 for hours..not crash even once..using stock cooler thou..
or maybe...not the time to crash yet...
or maybe...i just being lucky..

idle : 53 - 55..most time stay at 54..
load : 60 - 70..

What's your ambient temperature? Aircon or fan?

one 16" pensonic table fan..half to my face..half to my naked casing..

Aiks...no wonder la. So your ambient temperature can't be actually measured. But I guess the fan plays a factor in cooling everything in your chassis.

get a 80mm or 90mm vizo windstorm fan and blow directly to it will do too, it is 5800rpm! but need to bear its "screaming" noise too

maybe la..so everyone go and buy 16" pensonic table fan and blow it to your casing...

even i turn off the fan, my gc still idle at 54..and load under 75..i'm really glad i bought this card..
