I'm looking into some extra cooling for my [Built By] ATI X800XL because I'm thinking about OC'n it quite a bit and want to keep my temps down.(it currently sits between 40-44*C)

I don't want to spend more than $50, and I'd prefer air cooling but if its got a true advantage I'll settle for water (don't care about noise).



P.S. Links!!!!!
 
wait, before you buy cooling for the X800XL, be warned that you would only be wasting your time trying to overclock it. Best you could get is 250 on the core if your lucky. the XL are terrible overclockers. Only reason to buy a better cooler is noise...

It'll improve the temperature of the GPU core too..

My teachers never taught me about thermal conductivity. (But I figured Cu>AlCu)

It's our geeky knowledge.. 😉
That's the general rule but in some cases Al > Cu heatsinks, depending on which models you're comparing.
