Replacing the coolers on my 560 Ti's. Will this one work?

[TotalMalice]

The fan on one of my 560 Ti's is dying, just 1 month outside the warranty. MSI won't replace it so I need to get an aftermarket solution.

The only fan I found for the card is this one:

I'm going to replace the fan on both my cards, so they both have the same amount of cooling, even though only 1 is defective.

However, I'm not sure if this cooler will work as it describes a height restriction. I'm not much of an expert, so I'm not really sure how to read the graph they provide or know if it will work.

I was wondering if someone here more knowledgeable on the subject can help.


They provide this information:

It's compatible with GTX 560 Ti's. I have 2 MSI 560 Ti Twin Frozr II cards.

It also provides this height restriction.

My motherboard is a P8P67 Deluxe:

My case is a CM 690 II Advanced NVIDIA edition:

So, will it work? And will it work in SLi?

Just by looking at everything real quick, it seems it should work as long as your video cards don't have the stacked power sockets. Looks like it will still only be a two slot card, so it would seem that it would work with an sli setup. Hope this helps and have a good one!

My video card does have 2 x 6 Pin Power connects on each. I don't know what stacked means?

Looks like this exactly.

The coolers will fit no problem since its not stacked, and the motherboard will also have the space so you can keep running SLI. The Arctic Cooling takes up 2 slots with the gpu also taking one, its its 3 slots. But like i said, dont look a problem at all. Go for it, and enjoy them, they are great coolers!

Ah, yah I understand now. My only concern now is the length. I have just about 2 cm between my existing cards and the hard drive bays, and the new cooler is about 2 cm longer. It's going to be a tight fit getting the power connectors in with that little space.

That could indeed be a concern, the Arctic are spacy things. Get them, and then get a bigger case

One upgrade never comes alone
