[wildbilly2k]

How big is that fan? From side to side, I mean. Cooljags are 60x60 mm, about 2.3622 x 2.3622 in.

i dont know yet cause i havnt bought the card but it looks around 40 or 50mm. Come on too many people have radeons someone has atleast tried this.

[Yodums]

Sinky sam put an Alpha IU cooler on there, and yes he did have to mod it, those caps do get in the way. There's no work around to this.

[wildbilly2k]

Actually the Cooljag is not easily implemented for Radeon 8500's

Reason being is they are 89.3L x 65W x 25.0H (With fan) (but Only the fan is 60mm x60mm)

An Alpha Pal 153 or Alpha Pal 15u is a better choice as its 60mm x 60mm x 25mm (with fan)

I just ordered this Cooljag to see how easy it is to put on a 8500

yeah i am thinking fo getting those copper ram sinks with nickel plating and is a IU cooler the best way to go or is there any other beside orbs that will work with out modding and a quick question does the radeon have all the features a geforce 4 ti does?

[Penguin4x4]

Yes, they have the same features, and 1U Heatsink is probably the best way to go.

[wildbilly2k]

ooh what you guys think of this one looks pretty good to me and it is nearly 60x60 http://www.directron.com/cck6012.html

Bill,

I would get a Alpha pal 153u since the Cooljag is a tough fit on ATI cards.

I lost the link I had to a IU cooler roundup but the ones you want are either the Alpha pal 153u (Or Alpha pal 15u) for the 8500

That Vantec will work fine, but not as well as the Alphas.

The absolute worst IU cooler is the Thermaltake low profile Golden Orb....If you buy that, I'll slap you with a wet noodle :D
