Which 8800GT cooler?
Im thinking of buying a aftermarket cooler for my 8800GT now since it gets really hot around 70c or more while gaming on load. idle is 48c. Which would be the best choice for the price and cooling?
Thermalright HR-03 GT Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev 2 Any others?

Thermaltake Duorb
Easy to install, cheap, and twin blue LED fans. Temps remain about 55C under load in warm room. *edit* Newegg Link

 THERMALTAKE DUO-ORB FTW!!! I never saw over 45C under load at 780/1010 I coupled the Duo-Orb with I and H ram coolers and never looked back. That setup is now in one of my LAN computers and running as strong as ever.

Twin Turbo. I am willing to bet it does a better job than the DuOrb.
DuoOrb....  Here is a review for the Twin Turbo. http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=773&p=0

I would choose the Accelero TwinTurbo, but the AcceleroS1 Rev2 will perform slightly better if you can take the time to mod it by adding a fan or two.

Hmm okay. Im actually surprised that nobody recommended the HR-03 GT.
 So its either a go for the Accelero TwinTurbo? or the Thermaltake Duorb! Which>?

Duorb!!! I had 2 of them they are great coolers. + They save space. The Accellero S1 is a great cooler too, but large and unsightly (I added my own fans on them. 2 120mm fans
that thing never saw temps in the high 20's on idle lol)

I say get the DuOrb. Mine kept my GT's in the low 40's (43c average) and it never passed 55c under load.

while the duorb and twin turbo are both dual slot (pretty sure) perform just a little bit worse by at most 5c? which ever you can find cheaper, duorb or twin turbo, go with that. fyi: my 9800gtx with accelero s1 & two 120mm fans is a 4.5 slot cooler!

the TT duOrbs.. just because you can fit 2 in a SLI setup/ ease of installation.
The HR-03GT is significantly bigger and not all mobo will fit them. (for example my EVGA 750i FTW.) dunno if you can see them, but i manage to fit a X-Fi xtreme gamer in between those two 8800gt
