Cooler for a Geforce 7800 GT

    Cooler for a Geforce 7800 GT

    Can anyone suggest a cooler/heatsink/fan combination for a Geforce 7800GT? The two after market coolers I bought wouldn't fit (apparently the architecture on a 7800GTX is different than a 7800GT). After reseating the stock cooler, Speedfan is reporting idle temps of 79 C and after 10 minutes of gaming, it's reporting 109 C!  I don't have a lot of space in my case, but I can move my wireless card down one PCIE slot to give extra room. Help!

    As much as aftermarket coolers cost, personally I'd just buy a 9600GT, $100 it will triple your performance. (3870 if you have an AGP slot).

     

    Anywho, this one specifies compatibility with it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835191014

    Better off just buying a new card like the GT220..

     


    Onboard RAID vs. 3Ware RAID

    I never recommend people run RAID-5 with onboard chipsets.
