Well its a leadtek winfast gefroce 2 pro, 64 ddr. 5.5ns ram, default clock at 200/400 i can get it to 200/46 easilt, and usually around 220-230/465 depending on temps but i want this all the time, what would be a good cooler for it. I was gonna get that crystal orb thing, but was just wondering if it wsa really that much better then the blueorb? Any opinions

on the few tests i have seen the crystal orb is only 1 - 2 degrees better then the borb, a better idea would probebly be to take off the haf and ram sinks if you have any, lap then and put them back on, otherwise there is a very good cooler here http://www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk/browseproducts.php?basket_session=02ef033264499296 ce07426e95b5ae9c&categoryid=24 at the top of the list called the icicle 1u designed for atherlons on racks but can easilly fit on graphiocs cards

I second the Overclockers opinion, there is a similiar cooler to the Icicle sold here in the USA called the AOC IU cooler AOC for $15

My favorite GPU cooler is the Alpha pal 15u but they are extremely difficult to procure, many sites are sold out.


Any IU rackmount cooler is your best bet.
