How are you cooling your graphics card? got something special/different? show it off.

Anyone have any suggestions for a 5770?

This image doesn't show all I did, as when I tried to fit it all together the end tips of the heat pipes hit the fins on the left side. So I had to go back and cut the middle fins flush about halfway along their length. Put the green blob there to show where I had to cut, roughly.

Edit* And yeah obviously I had to cut a large square section out around the core.

Thanks a lot. One other question, its 3 screws and a little adhesive holding the stock fan onto the plate, right?

3 screws, didn't notice any adhesive.

With all the bad press the vrm cooler from Arctic Cooler get I was actually thinking of using the Zalman units since they performed so well. The TT Pro vrm heat sinks look lacking from what I've seen.

To be honest my hope is that i can use one of the thermalright vrm heat sinks with the accelero extreme and if not then with the thermalright shaman but i can't even guess at that as i expect only the 6970 to fit my needs and if so i don't have a clue if the current vrm heats sinks could fit.

Nice work, i love it when people manage to modify he support/cooling plate to fit a new heatsink.

Just installed a spitfire on my GTX580.. temps are so far so good. (sorry for webcam pic)

Stock @ 32c ambient
850MHz GPU core
140mm 2000 rpm yateloon

Idle: 45c
Furmark Load (Limiter Off): 89c

Spitfire @ 31c ambient

That looks substantial... like the size of a cpu tower.

I'm liking this GE cooler. Selling the old monster card.

mastrdrver · Nov 21, 2010

To quote myself from another thread :laugh:

This is in a closed Antec Two Hundred with:
2x 120mm 1000 rpm front fans
1x 120mm 1200 rpm rear exhaust
1x 140mm 1600 rpm top fan
No side fan, just left open

I forgot I turned off C&Q so the 955BE is full out at 1.4v on the cpu and cooled by a S1284 and 140mm Noctua.
The Zalman is hooked up to the board (MSI 890GXM-G65) and running on 9V. I think 7V would get me to about 2000 rpms (my goal) since 6V puts it ~1700 rpms.

self fabricated HD 4650 cooler

MOAR about this build in this thread

the main idea was to prevent it from circulating the hot air when it was in stock condition.

Nice work, even more so on the trimming of the fan as that's such a pain in the ass to keep balanced.

not really that different
watercooled 8800GT using D-tek Fusion +Enzotech ram/mosfet sinks.

Xiggy battle axe with random 80mm fans on a 8800GT

2 8800GT's one with a stock cooler other is another battle axe painted red/black with 2x92mm fans and a 80mm fan blowing between them

another 8800GT with a battle axe

top card 3870 with a battle axe with the stock fans from AMD heatsinks. needed a low profile fan to fit and they worked perfect. bottom card is a voltmoded 8800GT with a battle axe + 92mm fans.

some old card not sure of what it is. Have a fan blowing from the right side of the board across the heatsink to keep it cool

have a 80mm fan zip tied to the stock cooler of my 8800gt

Sorry for all the randomneses. i was just surfing my photobucket and added them as i found them.I think i still have some more that i will post later.

what are you talking about?

also here is a 7900GS voltmodded and cooled using a 80+cfm 80mm fan super glued to stock heatsink

same card but this time with a Asus Chilly vent lux CPU cooler ziptied to it

ahh yes. Keep in mind these pics have been in my photobucket from 07 up. :laugh:

Also most of the pics i posted had been used for crunching and folding only. I used the monitor to set things up and then from there it was rare to have to use it so it didn't matter.

do any cards even come with VGA anymore?

They do... although I'm pretty sure we'll only ever see them on the lower end GPU's such as Radeon 5570 & GTS430 models.

pantherx12 · Nov 21, 2010

I'm running of vga right now, pumped out by a g41 motherboard.

It least his vgas are plugged into actual cards XD

mastrdrver · Nov 21, 2010

Accelero S2 on XFX 4650 because I just had it laying around and not being used.

edit for temperatures
ambient 22C
side fan on Antec Two Hundred: scythe slim ~1400 rpms

How are the temps on the card?

Great, mainly the fans make the whole thing. It idles higher than the gelid cause I can take the fans way down to total silence. At load though I can make it cooler than the old card cause these fans go up to over 4000 rpms. OCCT load at 90% was 70c with max clock.

Patches O'Houlihan · Nov 30, 2010

I have a PNY XLR8 GTX460 OC (reference design) with a stock cooler that has bad bearings. The Gelid Icy Vision Rev. 2 is available for $50 with S&H. Would you recommend it, or is there another cooler that you recommend instead?

It fits the GTX460, but I don't know if the fit and finish are good. Reviews are only of the first model, not Rev. 2.

It fits GTX460, but I don't know if the fit and finish are good. Reviews are only of the first model, not Rev. 2.

After a quick poke around the net it seams that the rev. 2 is the same as the original but has added support for 4xx cards and with kits available to use the original one on the 460 i assume the only difference is mounting hardware thus all reviews for the original should still apply to the rev. 2.

I can't say for sure as i have no experience with it but from the fact it has 5 heat pipes and two 92mm fans with the ability to cool the 480 well even while overclocked i think it would do a great job on the 460.

Patches O'Houlihan · Nov 30, 2010

The fan noise isn't super loud, but it's just enough to irritate the hell out of me. :banghead:

I guess I'll pull the trigger - 'Tis the season to shop, you know.

I just realized (after having read your reply) that my grammar is horrible.
