hello i 1 8800gt (msi over clocked abit 9stock over clocked)

rest it is at 45C 9auto fan speed)
crysis high setting x2 it is wt 70C

fan on max at idle its at 40C
and on crysis its at 60 to 65C

i was wondering is there a after market fan i could replace the TINY stock fan with? as the stock fan is really noisy (when on very high setting) and well it is totally rubbish at pumping air around


thanks for the help

-head crab!
 
ah right i thought they were abit too high lol
i was looking for quieter cooling as im gonna get another 8800gt so it might be really load lol


what is the highest "working" temp for a 8800gt?

whats the highest temp it can go up to till it shuts it self down or blows up (lol)
 
Well my card has gone to 80ºC without any problem. If you want an aftermarket fan, I would recommend the Arctic Silver Accelero S1. I'm planning to get it soon and run it passively. Before though, it's a rather large heatsink.
 
this is what i did with mine.

8800gt alphadog edition.
they are all the same cards, but have different face plates.
so you can do the same with your's.

i bought this baby

stock fan is shite. noisy and small. :(

well thats what i did with mine. i have 2 8800gt 512mb now. so im gonna buy another duorb when i can afford it.

performance wise:

ive overclocked my card and its running at the moment 720core / 1050 memory.

with stock fan i was getting temps of 45oC idle. 60oC load in crysis.
with he duorb im getting 35idle and 45oC load in crysis.

it allowed me to overclock a lot more than i was able to with the stock fan.
 
Well... The temps he's running now are quite good, not much need to change except if he's having problems with the noise but if he's running at 50% of the fanspeed he shouldn't actually hear much of it...
 
GTS G92 have better stock coolers (as well as the G80, but those are cards that won't be selled anymore anyways).
