Hey Guys,
Just like to know, what would be the best cooler for my X800 PRO (flashed to XT PE w/16 pipes), taking the price into consideration. I've read tons of stuff, but every forum has different opinions.
a) Zalman Vf700AL/CU - $30
b) Zalman Vf700CU - $40
c) ATi Silencer 5 (Rev. 2) - $37.50
d) any other recommendations - less that $50
I am getting temps of 70-75 *C in ATi tool with 3D view, and would like to cool it down a little bit
With the price, i just want to know things like if its worth the extra $7.50 for the Arctic cooler or an extra $10 for the full copper, etc.
Just out of interest as well, how are the ram heatsinks with the zalman coolers stuck on? (glue?, thermal tape?)
Thanks for all the help in advanced!
Cheers
