My Dad's 8800GTX is getting pretty hot with the stock cooler. He's hitting 90*C+ on load. He wanted me to pick out a cooler for him, but I'm a bit out of the loop on VGA coolers.

So, what's a good, cheap cooler for the 8800GTX? We looked at the Zalman VF1000, but I guess you need to buy the RAM sink kit they sell too which adds up to like $70, that's too much.

Also, I don't want one of those massive ones that take up like 4 expansion bays, lol.

Thanks.

Go to wal-mart, pick up some compressed air, take out the 8800 gtx, and use the straw on the compressed air to blow out the dust. No need for a new cooler.

Obviously that was the first thing done, and used Rivatuner to put the fan to 100%.

I was looking at the TRAD. In their little diagram it doesn't look too overly massive, like that fuckin HR-03.

Didn't/don't you have a TRAD haffey?

i sure do. performance is very similar to the HR-03 GT (at least, when i researched it it was), maybe a 1-2C degree difference.

Won't fit, the GT is for G92 cores, he has a G80 so he needs a HR-03 Plus
I have one and it only takes up two slots above the card in the configuration I'm using.
