Can anyone recommend me a quiet 6800 le or vanilla 6800? Nvidia arent renound for quiet coolers so i wondered if anyone has any experience of quiet stock coolers. It also must b single slot so that it fits in my shuttle.
I thought the 6800's came with dual slot coolers stock? Why not get a quiet aftermarket cooler for your card and use that?
One word: warranty. That's why i haven't changed the cooler on my X800 Pro, i don't want this £300 card to go wrong one day and discover they won't take it back. I know full well that most places won't check, but luck is a vicious bitch.
Keep the original heatsink and when/if it fails, put it back on. Make sure to keep all the thermal paste/pads on the heatsink so it looks stock and clean off any AS5 that may have been applied. Simple
Nah, that's not ethical. They don't cover aftermarket coolers, just in case you break something. Doesn't sound right to me
