Guys....did any of you change your graphic card cooler?
Budget isn't an issue but the CARD IS FREAKING HOT.

idle around 60 degrees....Load <= i didnt check but heck the card is HOT.


Would love to hear some suggestions. Please I know many ppl have asked this but I need some help in cooling down this card.

I'm using ASUS 8800GT (non TOP version)

yea..the reason why i chose that? it seems its pretty good for the price.
I plan to get fans for it of course. I doubt passive cooling will do much but ....its always better to have a fan blowing it.

Google for that cooler..its good stuff.

but for now..I pray and hope my PC is fine.
