bought my first GPU cooler,
performance's great, check it out






















Testing

and here's a quick chart of performance
this unit looks cheap to me, not very well leveled etc, but i'm glad it's a good performer and inexpensive

Damn, good job there Triple, move your video card up to your very top slot and take out the extra PCI slot covers on your case and zip-tie an 80mm fan. It'll suck that hot air pocket right outta there, it lowered my 8800GT temps by 19C at OC speeds.

Oh and REP +

doesn't the vga cooling move the air bottom up? u know what, tomorrow i give it a try first, and see if it helps anything

Yeah, I'm using the accelero s1 rev. 2 with a FM121 and my 8800GT creates a pocket of warm air right above the card and below my zalman. Thinking about getting a slot cooler, or I might just try dcshoe's idea. I'm not gonna complain about 40c load temps, though.

I'm having a problem. I got a very similar setup, with the Gigabyte ATI 4850 and the AC twin turbo. however, the fan speed doesnt exceed 14% no matter what I choose manually.. can anyone help please?

TripleC

i rememeber there's a connector allow u to connect to molex power connector instead of the board's power connector, that would proabably help it

Thanks for the tip, but if I do that, how am I able to control the fan speed? the wire that connects to the display card has 3 wires - two for power and one for data. the molex one has only 2 wires..

thanks.

TripleC

no more speed control.. tho it's not loud at 100% imo

Apparently, you cannot control the fan speed anyway...
