Geforce FX cooling Solution?

[Webthug]

I recently upgraded my graphics abilities from an GF4 MX440 to a 5600FX. However the card comes with a somewhat pathetic cooling solution. another problem is that the HSF on the GC haves a very annoing noise. Are there anydecent geforce FX cooling solutions available on the market, preferably rellatively quiet ones (i don't like having to sit next to a jet engine when i'm playing BF or Wolf:ET).

You could try a Vantec Iceberq 4 Pro. Sorry to make a plug, but I have a brand new one for sale on the FS/FT forums for $15 as opposed to $25 shipped. Check out some reviews, it is a decent HSF, all copper, has a blue LED under the clear fan, and 4 memory heatsinks.

that or disconnect the fan and cut a hole on the side of your case and install an 80 or 92mm fan blowing down on your cards. thats what i do.

You could do some hardcore modding and somehow get a CPU heatsink on like GC68. I've seen it done before, but I'm not sure how he secured it, probably thermal adhesive.

Please forgive me if i'm wrong, but last time i looked at my 5600FX it had 8 memory chips. What use is cooling for half of them? So am i supposed to overclock half of them or something?

Anyway very nice cooling solution. Altho i'l probably go with the Zalman thing and run a slow 200mm fan on top of it.
