PCIe Cooler
Symptoms: Random resets while playing graphically intense games
Temporary Solution: Underclocked Graphics card in Riva Tuner (works great) Hypothesis: Heat. I think that it is cutting out because it gets too hot. I was thinking about getting the ARCTIC COOLING AVC-NV5R3 NV Silencer Rev.3, but I was worried about SLI problems. Here is my mobo:  Will it work?? Also I have heard things about this thing called the Accelero X1 by artic cooling. When is that supposed to come out? I googled it and people said that it was supposed to be released on feb 6 2006, it march!! beck

you might want to measure the distance inbetween the two cards and then compare it to the hieght of the Silencer Rev 3 too see how much of a clearance you'd have, if any.

yea i have a silencer... it depends on the board, pretty much just measure how big the SLI bridge is, and then theres like a measurement sheet on the arctic cooling website... mine has like 2-3cm clearance, that is between the end of the fan because it has a little point tip on the fan... i duno my ECS has plenty of room really. i don't see why yours wouldn't.
also check your video drivers, reinstall them and the game... if that doesn't work it might be heat... or just a bad card. did you o/c (proc or gpu)? EDIT: my temps dropped about 2-3C idle and 7-10C load when i got the NV SILENCER (depending on the temps in my room)

I was just wondering how much of a pain is the silencer to install? I have a 6800gt that gets a little hot at load and was thinking about the silencer. Not much different then putting a new heatsink and fan on a chip as far as pain level goes? |
