Hey all, So i've decided to get the sapphire 9800pro and want to get a different HSF for it for OC'ing, what do you guys recommend? I saw THIS on newegg and seems the reviews are good. Any ideas??
All I can say is get some Tweak Monster BGA Ram sinks first.
Watercool is da best for you actually. I also have xp with the VGA Silencer on my Hercules 9800Pro. It was still as hot as its stock Cu HSF, I ran @ DF without overclocking. Secondly, most of the time, I can not feel the heat flow backward my case .
I do not know whether that origins from the tropical climate in my contry or not.
However, if I had to choose a HSF for my vid, VGA Silencer is the best choice then coz it is at a reasonable price and looks kool. VGA Silencer may be better than the stock Sapphire HSF but same as Hercules CU HSF.
Ya know, when I pulled out my Hercules HSF, I regret that why I should have bought VGA Silencer.
Anyway, going for VGA Silencer is best for ya case.
