8800GT aftermarket coolers?

Well, I just installed my new Gigabyte 8800gt 512

It runs fine, but is a little flaky in the cod4 demo. Most likely because I am running it off my old 420 watt from TT. My new seasonic 500 watt arrives tomorrow

Anyway's, mine came with the crap stock cooler (not the new revision). Does anyone know what there is out there for aftermarket coolers? also, I will need good ramsinks, I have heard that the ones that come with the coolers suck and fall off.

ThermalRight HR03 GT or the Zalman one. They both come with heatsinks.

Here is a linky to the HR03 installed etc, scroll to pics.

The heatsinks do not fall off if done properly. The poor folks who have them falling off are poor preps of their chips. HAS TO BE CLEANED RIGHT. Get Artic Silver thermal cleaning compound, I have used it on 5 diff projects and never had one fall off.

I haven't found either of those on newegg, but they are a little expensive.

Anyone know of one around the $20 mark?

Arctic cooling's Accelero S1 VGA Cooler are also compatible with the 8800GT at $23.99. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835186016 They don't come with fans, only the heatsink. Unless you have great airflow, I recommend you get their 'turbo module' which consists of 2 fans to mount on the heatsink.

On a 7950GT KO card the Accelero S1 brought temps from 56I / 70L to 40I / 49L even without the turbo module, which is basically two fans. Keep in mind that this is all passively cooled. I can't think of a better aftermarket 8800gt option for the money.

Expensive, but this looks to be one of the best...

Have you attempted overclocking any higher with the DuoOrb? If so, what is the highest stable overclock you have achieved with it?

HR 03 GT, DuOrb or VF1000 are the best

I've read good things about Accelor S1 passive heatsink. I would get that if I had an 8800GT and the noise/temp bothered me.

710mhz core and 2000 mem

I run lower because i really like this card and want it to last... so i run 680 core and 2000 mem very stable and nice performance.

ZEROtherm HC92 Cu 8800 / Thermaltake DuOrb / Zalman VF-900 Cu - With only twenty-six cents separating their price/performance ratio, these three coolers really earn their sticker price. Also, with their different levels of noise, you can select which one suits your needs best and be confident you are getting a great cooler. A quick side note. If you already have a fan handy for use with the Thermalright HR-03 GT then this cooler becomes a much better value and should be included here.

Thanks for the link kpo, was a good read.

Does anyone know if there are any coolers out yet that exhaust the air out of the case? Like what the stock cooler on the 3870 does.
