Hey everyone.

I still have my X1900XTX from last year, and i dont intend to get a new one since it is still can compete in the top of the gaming video cards out there. Ive been looking around the internet for a good cooler, that would mostly improve the performance of my video card, though it would'nt be bad to reduce the noise of this beast either. The results i found on my search on the internet was about a year old, so i was wondering if there has come any new good performance coolers out since for the X1900 series.

my question is :

Wich cooler should i buy for my X1900XTX. Should i buy the Arctic cooler X2 that was HOT last year, or has there come anything new and better out? (it has to be air cooling)

thanks.

Best is the thermalright HR-03.

Expensive, tho... and you have to buy the fan of your choice separately.

Just upgraded from my X1900XTX had her for 2 years almost. Had an Accelero X2 on it. Very cold, very quiet maxed the settings in CCC overdrive with ease with low temps, only £16 aswell. If your in US of A most likely even cheaper still.

Hey guys.

Thanks for the replies, really helped me out here. I think im going for the
thermalright HR-03, since it has alot better performance and is as quite as the fan you mount on in.

One last question. How do you cool down the memory on the card since the thermalright HR-03 only covers the GPU itself.

Reply to CasTell

I believe the HR-03 comes with memory heatsinks.

Although Thermalright's achilles heel is the crappy adhesive they use on their memory heatsinks, you might want to invest in some arctic silver adhesive...
