which VGA cooler

[s002wjh]

Can someone give me some recommendation on a 9800pro VGA cooler

 

[s002wjh]

also I saw the ATI siliencer 1 it said 9800Pro(with glued mem heat sinks) what do they mean by "with glued mem heat sinks"???

what's with the double post.

with glued mem heat sinks"???

meaning they attached memory heat sinks ot the memory, with some sort of product that affixes them to the memory.

I would personally go with the Thermaltake Extreme Giant 3. I have one and this thing rocks with the dual heatpipes. It cost $35 at www.newegg.com and it does an excellent job of cooling. Your other option is going with the VGA Silencer for 15 bucks. They perform about the same but I prefer the Giant 3 . Hope my advice helps!

definitely go with the silencer thermaltake is not known for high quality products

Go with a cheap Huge P4 or AMD HS and mod it to your card....

WTF are you talking about. There CPU and VGA coolers are high quality. There Accessories suck. I dont know what your talking about xb1az3x, but, The Giant 3 is anything but low quality.

Get the new Zalman dual heatpipe cooler. I got one and a VGA Silencer and with the 80mm fan (I swapped it out for a 120mm), it beats the VGA Silencer even. Very good stuff.

Without any fan on it, it's just as good as stock cooling and with a fan, expect a 15-20C drop in temps. Also comes with ramsinks. I'm very pleased with mine.

i dont think the ATI Silencer 1 has ramsinks in the package, i think they mean you have the option to add ramsinks

they say glued because the other versions of the ATI Silencer and NV Silencer have a copper base that extend to form the memory heatsinks (hence not glued)
