X800 Pro stock cooling?

[Mr.OppressoLiber]

I'm wondering if the stock cooling is enough for this card (At stock speeds) or should I look into a VGA cooler, also would someone recommend one to me.

... "i wonder if ATi sells their cards with adequate cooling to run their cards"
if your'e running stock, keep stock.

Well, it's true, isn't it? The stock thermal solution is enough to keep the card within specified thermal specifications under normal operation. Most people who upgrade to a 3rd-party solution are usually looking for quieter operation or more overclocking headroom.

 

[Mr.OppressoLiber]

I'm not denying that, i'm only asking because, my 9800 Pro gets fairly hot(at stock), and I can see memory modules starting to fail. I don't want that to happen to this X800.

It's fine.
