XfX 7950gt cooling

[senatorblac]

1. What do you guys think about xfx's cooling solution?

2. Does it get hot? or is it always at an ok temp?

It should be OK if you have good airflow in your case since it is passive.

Agreed. Idle and load temps I've seen in reviews put it on the warmer side, but still within spec. Inside a cramped case with little airflow, things will get warmer. Very nice card for the money. Given space to breathe, it's a great stock cooler.

Arctic Cooling introduces a passive solution for the 7900 series in October. It's safe to assume a bit of testing has been done that says the 7900GT is cool enough with passive cooling: Arctic Cooling S1
