8800 gt after market coolers that are compatable

[Ketxxx]

Very thin layer of compound one side of the core, then spread with a credit card, works a charm for me.

 

[panchoman]

i put a regular amount of as5, use the cooler to smoosh it and then move the cooler around to spread it evenly, and then i take all the as5 on the cooler and wipe it off, leaving a very thiny & well spread amount of as5.

Trt.....was that S1 easy to fit m8???

It fit like it was made for the 8800 gt it appears the 8800 gt is made on simliar PCB as the 7900 gtx and 8600 gt and almost all the coolers that fit them fit the 8800 gt.

I know but even doing it twice and lapping the heatsink the MX1 that came with it is still 3 degrees cooler.

that interesting, but then again as5 was meant for stuff like cpus.. you want to use ceramique for video cards and stuff.

Looking up the SLI/Crossfire version for another member led me to this and I thought of this thread. Reminds me of the ATI toxic series coolers. States it has a universal mount for GPU and CPU . No positive link to a fit tho!

It says it's none conductive but that you still should keep it away from electric connection so it should be fine.

The Thermaltake DuOrb works on the 8800GT, but you have to use the 7900 mounting instructions.

My own results:

Stock cooler & Stock Speeds: 62/80
Stock Cooler & 700/999: 63/90

DuOrb & Stock speeds: 41/52
DuOrb & 771/999: 43/56

Thx for posting please post a pick of it on your card my accelero s1 performs slightly better than that. Mine overclocked now that I changed the heat past won't go over 47c no matter what clock I run with AS-5 on the heatsink and idles at 34c ,but with Arctic Coolers MX1 thermal paste that came with the accelero s1 it wouldn't go over 44c. I shouldn't have changed it. Also download ati tool and run that clock and test for artifacting i bet that clock 771 is not truely stable. I can run mine at those speeds but not without artifacting check and see I bet I'm right.

Here is an example of my temps I'm test currently

What make is your GT?

What make is your GT?

BFG 8800GT OC, so stock clocks are 625/1566/900.

Right now I'm at 771/1931/999 which is fully 3D stable (games like none other) but I have not done an ample stress test as of yet. I'm pretty sure I'll need to drop that shader clock, but we'll see!

I'll post some screen caps later and a pic of the cooler on the card, I'm working right now.

But it does not artifact in ATi tool at those clocks? Cause if it don't and you run Artifact scanner for say 15 minutes clear of artifacts it should be stable in games, very few games will stress it as much as the artifact scanner, where games sometimes become unstable at high GPU clocks is when you take all the other things into consideration like memory etc, Artifact scanner does not really push the whole system where as the game does.

No way on air will that be stable. Run atitools artifacting test the fuzzy cube in my screen shot. I bet in less than 5 minutes it errors.

 

[trt740]

mine will run at 762/1955/ 2066 but will artifact after about 20 minutes.

Tatty what they heck are your bench marks with that 8800 gts clock 720/2150/1675 for god sakes man bench it.

ATiTool doesn't fully work with Vista 64 without jumping through hoops so I am adjusting clocks with Rivatuner and testing for artifacts with ATiTool.

Anything higher on Memory or Shader results in instant errors; I haven't tried to push the core any further yet. I want these settings to run for at least a few hours before I declare them stable.

EDIT: Still solid after ~180 minutes. Tried to bump the core higher, but this is as far as she'll go it seems. Temps are up to 58, but it should be noted that I am in a warm room (almost 26C) and have 7 HDD in this case.

I stand corrected it appears you have a super card much better batch than mine.

but I also noticed you have a maximus motherboard that has pci 2.0 aswell I wonder if that figures in here somewhere. I wonder does it make it more stable.

I was wondering the same thing. Or it may be irrelevant whether it is 1.0 or 2.0, but P35 vs. X38.?!?

On your Maximus....does it have a good range of memory divider options? I seem to be finding too many boards that only do 1:1 and with my 6850 at 4.2Gig plus that just aint gonna happen on ANY DDR2 so I need a board that will give me memory divider options.....can you help?

read this 8800 gt owner will help you with a aftermarket cooling

Got the Gigabyte x38 DQ6 so no need for help now .....anyone ready for 6 core computing First time ever I have bought a top of the range "bells & whistles" board.....just aint used to this many options....but damn she is fast
