1U coolers for a vid card...

[Blue Jester_2112]

I'm looking to replace the stock cooler on my GF3 and figured I'd get a 1U cooler. I can't really afford the Alpha right now so I was wondering if anyone knows of any sites with a nice selection.
Any link would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Blue

Try Rackmount Pro (http://www.rackmountpro.com), specifically the Spire 5R057B1M3R 1U (http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=903). With a little lapping, it should work well on a GPU.

You the man Colin, thanks for the links.

Which do you think would work better? The Spire with a delta 38 or this one http://www.rackmountpro.com/productpage.cfm?prodid=621
with a delta 38?

Obviously the copper should absorb heat better but the Aluminum should dissapate it better and looks like it has more surface area.

What do y'all think?

Read the large surface area test in the Frosty Tech link I provided. The Spire kicked tail. FWIW, I have two of them on order for my PIII dually.

Also, aluminum does not give up heat better than copper. Read the sticky thread (http://forums.overclockers.ws/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28876) at the top of this forum.
