I know this goes in the cooling forum and I put it there, I just thought I would share it with the video forum as well since it has to do with a video card.

It's not that great of a cooler.

But thats just IMO.

Please point us in the direction of a different aftermarket air cooling solution that performs better and is quieter than the stock solution. Thanks!!

i think they overestimate the number of BTX users out there.

and regardless, i will never see the point of taking up two slots and NOT exhausting the air.

Hopefully Zalman will get the VF900 out there soon, so the aircooling folk have more options. Neither of them will be exhausters, though...

Agreed. Hope that Arctic Cooling (or some other manufacturer) comes up with a cooler that exhausts the air also.

what's the cooler with heatpipes and radiator/fans at the reverse side of the GPU chip?
I remember seeing a thread about that cooler either in video or case & cooling forum. I think it was a good idea because pushing the hot air upward will allow the rear exhaust fan to draw the hot air out efficiently.

Pushing hot air upwards means pushing it right into my CPU heatsink. No thanks

not if you have a basic CPU watercool system that's not high end enough to cool the GPU. in that case the rear exhaust fan would be better utilized to remove hot air from GPU
