Hi.
I was wondering if a Zalman ZM80C-HP cooler, ran passivly, would be good enough to cool a GF3 Ti200, specifically, one clocked from stock of 175mhz, to 220mhz?

I have both a Zalman ZM80C-HP, 8 Coolermaster Ramsinks & a GF3 Ti200, that ive decided to give my mate for his 18th (instead of him buying it off me for £40). As a replacement for a GF4 MX440.
With its stock cooling, it did 210/500 (stock was a generic hsf, and 2 ramsinks that covered all 8 chips), with the stock cooler replaced with a Crystal orb, that OC increased to 220/510.

Thanks in advance.

Im talking about a overclocked GF3. If that makes a difference.
And the case that it`ll be going in has poor(ish) ventilation. However, i will be adding a 80mm exhaust fan to that particular case if it doesnt already have one.

I'm using mine on an overclocked 9600 Pro running at full loads on days with 60-80f ambient temps. :p It should be fine.
