    BC2 and slow loads with ATI cards

    Arctic Cooling Twin Turbo out yet?

    Without a fan attached, yes, the HR-03-GT drops down 2 slots below the slot that the card is in. Crossfire is possible as I've seen it done using this very gpu cooler. Also, a fan was attached to each cooler as well. Yes, it was crowded but neat. I'll see if I can find that pic. The T-Rad...

    Critique my 4870 cooling plan

    According to Arctic Cooling, the 2 80mm fans on the Twin Turbo can be plugged in to the same fan plug on the video card. That would allow you to control the fan speed the same way you did prior to you removing the factory fan/cooler. I thought about doing that when I hooked up the fans...

    That's a good question, Pharaoh. That would tell quite a bit about the T-Rad.

    Critique my 4870 cooling plan

    Yep, the T-Rad has already won a review featuring all the latest VGA coolers including the new Arctic Cooling Turbo. The T-Rad beat them all, even for best bang for the buck. I will try to find that link for the translated version since the review was done in China. The T-Rad looks unbeatable...

    Arctic Cooling Twin Turbo out yet?

    Thanks, SirKronan Not sure why that didn't show up in a google search.

    Arctic Cooling Twin Turbo out yet?

    They really look great Hophead! I've been waiting for those things to come out and still only see one vendor that has them, (Aero Cool), and the freight is ridiculous and they're selling at a premium above the suggested list. Where did you get yours? If it's in this thread I apologize, but I...

    Critique my 4870 cooling plan

    Are you playing Crysis online? I've got it but the stupid patches wouldn't load. Gave up and got COD4. Just got back from getting killed numerous times. :) Well, I'd say you have the heat issue under control. Those are not bad temps at all, especially at 92% load on the processor. Good...

    Critique my 4870 cooling plan

    Considering the fact that you overclocked the card, I'd say those are some decent temps. Using the stock cooler now at 40% fan, my idle is 53.5 and I saw it zoom to about 75 a couple of times under a pretty good load. I wouldn't dare o/c this thing yet. What did you do about the VRM...

    Critique my 4870 cooling plan

    Hey hophead, are you cooling it passively or with fan? What are your temps running? You sound like you went to the same "engineering" school I went to. ;)

    Critique my 4870 cooling plan

    Good question, lol_wut. 1. I had the room to add the fan without interfering with any existing hardware. 2. I like 38-40 degree C idle temps and 48 to 50 C max temps. When I first got this 8800GT the idle temps hovered around 60C. On increasing the fan, (and the noise level), it...

    Critique my 4870 cooling plan

    This board, (Abit IP35 Pro), was not an XFire board. Yes, adding the fan did take up one more slot than it should have. Had it been an Xfire board there would have been plenty of room for the 2nd card & cooler. I am experimenting with using some 92mm HDD cooler fans that are half the width...

    Critique my 4870 cooling plan

    Speaking of professional wire tie jobs, this is the Accelero I put on the 8800GT. :D I think I previously said it was on a 7800GT, my mistake. If you notice I used one of those plastic fan holders that attach to your case, then you just snap the fan into the holder. It just made it a...

    Critique my 4870 cooling plan

    I think geok1ng is having fun with this... :) Actually to achieve the 110cfm, it would sound like a leaf blower in your ear at 38db. At 800 rpms it will be around 16.5db but I would bet it might need to be running around 1200 rpms to be really effective. That should not be too noisy at all...

    Critique my 4870 cooling plan

    What I liked the most was the streamlined look. It looked thinner than the original card with the factory cooler on it! Just what I need, something else I have to wait on. :mad: At least I finally narrowed my search to either this one or the HR-03-GT. Oh, I got a message today from...
