Most are probably using the NVSilencer if they have the room.

i have the 6800U...i use Zalman VF700ALCU. alot of people use this fan to cool their cards as its probably the best out there.

 

[frank84]

well I have the VF700AlCu right now..

problem? well it cools the video card alright..(66 idle) but it blows all the hot airs into the case...

that's why I am considering the NVSilencer 5..

what do you guys think?

 

[frank84]

bump?

I've nver had the Zalman but I've used both the rev1 & rev2 Nv Silencer 5's on my GT. With the stock cooler, my temps were around 59c idle/78c load. I put the rev1 one on and promptly broke one of the crappy screws (idled @ around 65c for about a week until i got my rev2). The rev 2 is on now and I idle @ around 49c and top out @ about 65c. I'm pretty happy with these temps -plus my case temps went down 4 degrees cos of the exhaust on the cooler. I would def recommend the nv5 but just make sure you get the rev2 cos I've heard of lots of people having problems with broken screw threads
