Cooling solutions for an ATI x700Pro

iceage · 07-05-05, 09:24 PM

Can anyone recommend a good GPU air HS for my ATI x700pro card?

The stock HS has it idling around 45-48C and I'm pretty sure thats too hot. And thats with the stock thermal goo removed and AS5 applied.

Thanks!!

You could try a VGA Silencer by Arctic cooling, but to be honest your temps are quite good versus my 52 idle and almost 70C* load on my 6600NU

Thats interesting. Whats the upper limit typically on these ATI chips? I was running ATI tool and under load it topped out at 67C.

Too bad I can't do water like my other rigs, but this computer is supposed to be wife friendly.

I saw the Arctic Cooling Silencer 1 Rev 2 fits. Is AC any good for GPU stuff?

Either that or the Zalman option is the only decent non-stock cooling available.
