Default Cooler for X1950 Pro
My X1950 Pro for a few months now has started seriously overheating when gaming and ultimately crashing my PC after fancy displays of stretched polygons and artifacts.

I've bought myself a HD 4850 and am eagerly awaiting it's arrival, but I would like to fix my X1950 Pro so I can use it as a backup card or sell it. Assuming its the stock cooler that is dodgy (I've tried applying AS5 with no luck), what would be a good and preferably inexpensive cooler I could use with it?

Seems great but I can't seem to find it online (I'm in Australia). I wish Newegg shipped here :\

Have you tried cleaning the heatsink and fan?

I had the same thing happen to my 1900XTX...turns out my heatsink was 100% clogged

Just use ATITool and make a fan profile. I don't see a reason to go drop $35 on a $40 card.

Yup, makes a lot of sense. At the most, I'd replace the TIM (it worked wonders on my X1650XT which ran as hot as an X1950Pro). You'd be surprised how good the stock heatsink can perform with well-applied TIM.

I have cleaned it before and that didn't fix it, and I've tried setting the fan speed to 100% in ATI tool and it still overheats. I've also tried underclocking it, but that would just send my screen blank for some reason and I would have to reboot.
