Default 8800GT cooling
I need a cooler for my 8800GT. It is running 81C idle and 98C load not overclocked.

Is the Accelero S1 Rev.2 good? I can get it for $20, which is my maximum budget.

Is this a good choice? I want to get load temperatures around 70C.

BTW, I'm in Canada.

You should probably consider the air flow in your case first. Does your case have any fans? Does the air move well? You should have intake and exhaust fans.

Welcome to OCN. (Remember to fill in your specs in USER CP)
And on topic: woah are those really your temps. I mean there are very high.
And for that cooler...its ok but if you could extend your budget then i'd recomment the Thermaltake DUORB which is for $37 on newegg.

I have a XPS 420. There is an input fan for sure. There should be an exhaust fan.

I was going to ask if stock cooling is this bad. I can't believe I'm running like this for almost 2 years. Is that bad for the card? I run Folding@Home GPU pretty often.

Buy the Accelero, I have it and its great, you can use it without a fan (passive) or slap a fan on it and it cools even more.

98C is load @ 100% fan.

Any other suggestions?

Is $20 a good price for a unused Accelero S1 Rev.2?

Will any fan work or only the optional fan for the Accelero?

When I had the 8800gt, I used the acellero s1 and strapped a 120mm fan to it. The most difficult thing that I have heard is getting the ramsinks to stick. I never used them since I opted to buy some iandh ramsinks instead.
