Hey there!!
I'm thinking of buying a GlobalWin caf12 videocard cooler, which is basically a 63.5cfm 120mm fan which sits at right angles to the AGP/PCI slots. Is this a good option of cooling?
I have a creative gf3 ti500@260/572. I decided to use 2 old 60mm fans, one above and one below the card (attached to bent out PCI slot covers!!) to blow directly onto the gpu, and was able to get to 265/587.
Are these fans, although looking tacky, good enough? ie. will the globalwin caf12 be as good, if not better, or worse? Is air blown across a card worse than directly onto it? Will the caf12 improve/decrease case air circulation?
Answers please!!! Iknow there are a lot of q's but i'm newbie-ish
Thanks People
