What I want to know is if the tennmax lasagna is even any better than a normal video cooler you would see at 2cooltek or something. Don't you think it would get plugged with dust pretty quickly? The reason I ask is becauase my creative gts is running a 75mhz agp bus and if I don't have a fan blowing air over the back it, it locks up even at stock speed. I know the lockup is probably the videocard because it just freezes and plays the last soundclip like a broken record.

The Tennmax is a POS in my opinion. I ordered one for my old TNT2, within a week the fan was making more noise than all the other fans in my case.

I've run the tennmax cooler in the past, and I even have 1 on my bx chipset...I never have any probs with dust collection or noise, perhaps I just got lucky with them....

They do good job for there size, in most cases alot better than stock cooling.

I think if you want a really cool video card, build your own cooler out of a ppro heatsink or something of the likes.

So, what does everyone use for video cooling? I wanna know what the best is that people have found. I currently have a Vantec Socket7 heatsink attached to my TNT2 by Twistie-ties. Can thermal epoxy transfer as much heat as thermal grease? I'm trying to decide the best way to permenantly mount my video cooler.
