for oc'ing a agp card which is best???

[AS5AS51N]

which is best for cooling a geforce 2 ultra to its maximum: the blue orb, orange orb, or the crystal orb, or if u know of anything better please tell me? and which are the best heatsinks for a agp card???

[funnyperson1]

out of those 3 the crystal orb is the best but i think the best graphics card cooling is found in 1U CPU coolers such as the Alpha Pal15U....

thanx for ur in put but does the crystal provide the most cooling

if youre going fdor an orb yes, and the crystal orb provides very good cooling, i just thinkthat thaere are much better cooling options available....another very good cooling method is if you have an old 486 heatsink lying around, or hack a PIII heatsink to fit these are much better than any gpu orb coolers...

well, In the orbs, the crystal orb is the best. Is has a nickel plated copper base. Most CPU heatsinks, like an PAL or a Swiftech MCX370 (or462, might be too big) would work. If you really want to go all the way, buy a vapochill, and mod it to cool the GPU and RAM.

wow thanx

i think all that is pretty expensive i would just go for a crystal orb cause they are only ten bucks but if your lookin to run that sucker high you might want to look into 1U heatsinks

how high could i oc with a blue orb

it depends.......each card is different.....................Overlcock that puppy unitl it begs.........then lower it a bit.....look at what other people got for there overlcocking and then you cna get an average idea of what u can get.. also look at what they have for cooling. I'm not a huge fan of overlclocking my video card but you can still overlcock it with retail cooling. I have a voodo 5 and mine is pumped to 171/220 and retail is 166.........i may pump it up a little. You can if you have it overlcocked to much by artifacts or locking up.

okay thanx for the info

yeah i dont like to video overclock my vid card too much either. I just picked up a blue orb today at frys electronics so im set. I had to do it because my stock fan siezed up for some unkown reason. I am just lookin to make my video card look cool.
