8800 GT after market cooling

[WhipperSnapper]

Are there any good after market HSF's that fit the 8800 GT's (properly, not half-assed) yet? Links? It would be great if we could make a comprehensive list and perhaps get it saved as a sticky or some such.

I currently run the Accelero S1 and it "fits perfectly. The one limitation with the Accelero is that the little ramsinks do not cover the MOSFETS and they fall off the ram chips. So I had to use aftermarket ramsinks to cool those items.

I also know that there Thermaltake will fit.

You are better off buying a GT that comes with a duel slot cooler... I think there are some manufacturers doing that.. I know of one that only sells in england who makes a passively cooled and a dual slot cooler 8800GT... But they aren't available in the us yet.

Look for it and you should be able to find one, or get one shipped from england.

Based on the Newegg reviews, folks are reporting that the Zalman VF900 works for the 8800 GT, too.

There's also the Zalman VF1000 which looks awesome but might be overkill!

What's the difference between the Accelero S1 and S2?

the HR-03 GT. I believe its same as the HR-03 rev2 with more heatsinks. Designed for the 8800gt so can't get a fuller ass than that.
