Cooling my VGA
Hi, I got an 8800GT 512mb video card and just recently bought a Zalman Reserator 1 V2 water cooling system.
I got a VGA GPU cooling block and am worried now because I don't have anything to cool the VGA RAM. Do I have to have VGA RAM heatsinks or the optional VGA RAM waterblock to cool them or can they be left alone? Thanks

If there was a cooling solution on them already, assume that they need something now as well. Heatsinks with some thermal adhesive would do the trick.

In addition to what Hitchface said, you can also purchase specifically designed watercooling blocks for covering the GPU, RAM, voltage regulator and the I/O chip This is probably the better deal because it covers everything that needs to be cooled. My inclination is to trust a cooling block more than an air cooled heat sink.
http://www.koolance.com/water-coolin...roducts_id=561 There are other high quality manufacturers that make essentially the same thing...like Dangerden.. although I could not find one for your card specifically. I'm curious why anyone would make a graphics card cooling block that only covers the GPU?..thats just not right.

Basically these 3 parts will be enough to cool a whole Graphics Card.
GPU Cooler VGA RAM cooler Little Heatsinks I can whack on But I'm now worried that the GPU cooler won't fit, I've read on some sites that it would but others say it don't. It's either I get these parts or I don't cool my VGA at all. Last edited by dalenorth; 01-26-2008 at 09:58 AM. |
