Hey i ordered the Gainward Geforce 3 Ti450.
I was just wondering what people think:
Is the hsf/ramsinks on the Ti450 powerpack sufficient? Or is it worth the 40 bucks to get a crystal orb and 8 copper ramsinks, and some Artic Alumina Adhesive/Paste?
I was thinking maybe just buy the Arctic Alumina , and the Arctic Alumina adhesive for around 8 bucks and switch the thermal pads for AA...
It looks like Gainward put together a decent amount of cooling (and it looks badass too...) and this wouldnt be necesary, but if it gave anyone a decent OC boost to switch them out, I'll do it. Any opinions or experiences would be great.
