I am wondering the same thing

I just read this over at {H}: Might be worth a try. http://consumer.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTA1NCw1LCxoY29uc3VtZXI=

But have you tried rasing the voltage/speed on your VF700 to see if the better cooling helps. If it does you know its a heat problem and can go from there.

Anyone care to link to the cleartype utils mentioned?

VF700 at 5 volts is not that much cooling. What temps do you get when you bumb up the core? Does raising the voltage get rid of the problems? I don't think that the ATITool artifact tester works 100% with the 7900GT so I would double check with other programs to test for stability/artifacts. Run...

Only thing that will fit is the VF900 and the VF700 from zalman. The Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 (Rev. 3) can be modded to fit. Thats about it.

When you word it like that I would have to agree. I kind of liked the 7800GT since I have a 7900GT and they are quite close in temps. But a X1900XT(X) is missing since they are the hottest/fastest cards around.

It does not. It shows the stock cooler giving a bit better temps but no way it shows it as more silent. You must have seen wrong. I see nothing wrong with the results. A loud fast spinning fan against Zalmans quiet slow moving fan I would figure gives these exact results.

I am very unhappy with my stock cooler on my 7900GT (555/800, no volt mod). Golgatha: If you had taken the time to read the review you would have noticed he tested the card inside a case with only 1 slow moving fan as cooling. That makes the test valid in my opinion. Granted a X1900XTX...

ForceWare 84 Series Roundup@www.ngohq.com Since nobody in this thread seems to want to do anything ill just link to a relevant test of the different drivers. For those to lazy to read: no the 84.43 does not give any performance improvements except for the latest tombraider just like it is...

jmke from www.madshrimps.be writes in his latest VGA Cooler Roundup April 2006: I have not been able to confirm if any of the suggested solutions actually work for me or if they work for 7900GT cards at all. But I figured they look interesting enough to give them a try. Please report back if...

Rivatuner does not support 7900GT(X) so use powerstrip instead.

Thank you very much crazylegs!

How do you monitor your temps? Have you logged them and checked? If you leave a 3d app before you check temps it will go down drastically in seconds. So you need to log them or use a program like rthdribl that lets you monitor while running (or use two screens). Granted I have a low airflow...

Nobody can answer my question above?
