Since I began watching the prices of the GeForce3 cards I have become hooked on this messageboard! I have read allot about cooling and have only experienced the tip of the iceberg, from what I gather.
I am still thinking about buying a GeForce3, yes... I know about the new Radeon. What I am asking is about is Artic Silver II. Does this contribute to significantly lower temps of the GPU and CPU when it is applied? Which ever vid card I am going to buy, from what I read I should remove whatever "goop" (as some have called it ) and use Artic Silver II instead. Should I even apply it to my CPU for additional cooling or lower temps?
And in the Orbs (I have the Golden Orb) are so inadequate, which HSF do you recommend. One that is affordable and will not result in me been short changed at the bar for a few weekends.
It is a Thermal Take one, not some generic look alike. Found it at a show for about $10-15 and mine is rather quiet. ASUS PC Probe reports that it seems to "stop" for about 5-7 seconds at time... I do not understand that at all.
Thanks all!! And at a time like this... God Bless.
