Hi all, I need to get some aftermarket coolers for my 4 x Nvidia 9800GT graphics cards, I use them for folding but am constantly seeing 80 degrees on them which is higher than I want them running constantly. Any suggestions that doesn't break the bank? Cheers
Coolamasta you read my mind! I have bought an Accelero Xtreme 9800 for my GT but only realized it isn't compatible after it arrived. I was about to post about this today also
Thanks for the link bud but that wont keep this card cool while folding! Especially without a fan! That interesting mate, I was literally just looking them thinking should I take a chance, glad I never now, whats wrong with yours? On the website it says suitable for GTX and GT?!
if there is room then the Akasa Vortexx NEO is your best bet, they can be had for good money and will keep them cooler than the stock solution.
if you've got the money you can get these VGA RAM Heatsink then this for on top to cool the gpu gpu cooler
get the akasa vortexx NEO i have one get good temps with it and it dosen't cost that much bit of a bargin actually http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/AKAS...ith-two-HeatPipe-and-UV-reactive-BLUE-LED-fan
Thanks a lot for the ideas LT.BEECH but I was after something just to do a straight swap with the stock cooler cheap as possible as I need to do it to 4 cards!! Thats the one I was thinking about mate but the 9800GT is not listed in its compatibility list, the 8800GT and the 9800GTX is but the not the 9800GT Has anyone actually fitted an Akasa Vortexx NEO to a 9800GT?

+1 at Joekerh, that cooler is pretty beasty, stick 1x 100mm Scythe Kaze Jyu Slim fans on each one and you should be rockin'. Or get a Scythe Musashi, similarly thin, most likely nearly as competent cooling as the T-Rad2, and with slim fans already attached!
