Which cooling for my gpu?

creepy · Nov 30, 2003

Right now im usin a ti200 video card w/ a crystal orb,factory ramsinks,and 3 80mm fans blowing on it. Im lookin to go with something alittle more "high tech" if you will and i was wondering what u guys though I should do. Below are my options

1.Zalman heatpipe w/ HIGH cfm fan (noise=no problem)

2.Switech waterblock (but if my gpu doesnt reach temps of 95º its pointless because my water temp is 95º)

3.Keep what I have

4.give me your opinion

I would keep whatyou have and put the money toward a new card. I know the ti200 is a great card but its starting to show its age.

Yea I could agree w/ you on that but all I play is cs and w/ the overclocking etc i can pull of a constant 99-100 fps which is good for me.

1. Play something besides CS

2. Save up for a new card

3. Go Spurs

1. no thanks

2.why do that when im just gonna stick w/ cs

3.MAYYYYBEEE....i tend to not like duncan very much due to the personal issues

While your at it, why not put 2 thousand dollar wheels on an old rusty Volkwagon? After all, it still works right?

Get a new card. Even the GF4200 is cheaper than your cooling devices. Eventually you won't limited to CS.

Wow cant anyone ever just answer a question w/o having to suggest buying something new?

What watercooling system do you have? I think the gpu gets much warmer than 95 so it'll depend upon the capacity of your water system to be able to absorb that much more heat.

I also have two ti4200s, one being an 8X model. Cheap and works good enough.

Some cheap kit I bought when I didnt know crap about watercooling hah. But I plan on gettin a new rad. for it soon (i think thats whats holding me back).

I say stick with what you've got, but if you really wanna go nuts on it... Mod a big CPU heatsink to go on there.

i think ill get a slk

.....as for buyin a new card...i had planned on doing it w/ my xmas money.....as for this cooling stuff im looking for its stuff i want from my parents for xmas

Might as well just get a waterblock if you've already got the rest of the system.

I'd go Maze 4 gpu.

kusojiji · Nov 30, 2003

who makes the kit and what model number? It may not be worth the hassle if the kit is too small.

creepy · Nov 30, 2003

senfu...its the only one they make...but as said i plan on getting a new rad,pump (even though i already have a better one than what came with it),and cpu block.

kusojiji · Dec 1, 2003

Ah, okay, I get it now. You're going to replace the whole system. Upgrading the senfu will be the wrong step to take. Go 1/2 inch all the way.

Which cooling for my gpu?
