I bought a 8800 GT SSC, It was obviously and painfully too hot for my tastes and that fan is like one of those u pick up at kmarts for 20 bucks just to keep cool because your parents are too cheap to run the ac for a hour...

If anyone wants a CHEAP and super effective cooling go for the

Accelero s1
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835186016

then get THE Turbo Module Sleeve Dual VGA Fan
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835186021

The Zalman VF1000 & RHS 88 will fit the 8800GT
but from reviews & benchies I have seen
The Accelero will cool your 8800 GT better (if you get the dual fans) and save you around $50 dollars

Could you post a link to the review?

You know you would want to cool the ram & mosfets on the card. What are your idle & load temps? Mine are 59'c & 87'c.

like idle 38-39 and then load 49-50

Post pics to support your claim. My 8800 gt is coming Wednesday and I just got my DuOrb for it.

I've heard the 8800gt's run around 75-80C. Especially the SSC would run hotter b/c of the OC. So your trying to say it dropped your temps 30C ???? ;/

I honestly do not want to post pics just because you do not believe me

Obviously your case sucks for airflow.. because those temperatures are hot!

Ok.
I'm wondering how you made the assumuption that my case sucks exactly? I don't even have my 8800gt yet and I made no claim that I had one. I was simply stating I've read reviews and that was the average temps for that card. I will have one in 2 days though.

I was just curious of what you used to moniter your temps and what program you used to moniter the temps under load.

Hey, Can you post me you idle Case temp ? like the mobo temp ?

I'm asking that to compare. I will have my EVGA 8800GT SSC soon and my idle case temp is 23-25 and CPU IDLE is 7 - 9°c with fan cooling (I know it's dawm low , i made a thread regarding that...I just don't get it ) Link

So, Just as a matter of comparison let's say you case is like.... 5 - 10 °c hotter, how it'll afffect the temp of the card. That can be an interesting comparision.

Thanks for sharing.
