DFI LanParty NF4 Ultra-D

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

I know it sucks, so has anyone tried a better cooler for it?

Someone said to try Vantec's Iceberq 4. How does that run? Anyone? I obviously don't want something that requires too much modding (best if none at all), and of course I dont want my PCI-e 16x slot blocked....

Thanks!

i just put as5 on the stock cooler. its not as bad as people make it out to be. if you have good case air flow, you shouldn't need to replace it. you have front intakes?

i ran my fan at 2000 rpm until i got the 7800gtx and now i need to run ~4000 rpm. that keeps it 45c idle and 49c load. the chip is fine up to 60c or so.

i do have the iceberg left over from another build i was going to use but figured i'd check to see how just the as5 helped. so i haven't used it but lining it up it looks like a perfect match. the one thing at least on mine is the iceberg doesn't have a rpm monitoring lead but otherwise looks fine.
