**EDIT: I'm a scrub. From what I can find...Idle temps with one of those coolers is around 35-37 degrees...Load temps are 50-60 ish. They STILL absolutely smash most coolers on the market***

Apologies if I mislead anyone. The 37 degree figure must have stuck in my mind. They still look like a solid solution to me :P

Those Thermalright's are serious coolers for sure but honestly man on full load the GPU will get around 50~ and that is still hot, you know that but better than 70~ for sure. Wouldn't be to hyped with nickel as it's still not the lightest metal (titanium, platinum & aluminum) but much better than copper for sure. Best solution, liquid cool these beats but it's costly.

That VGA cooler that was linked is copper. It's nickel plated. Titanium and platinum coolers aren't all that common either. Aluminum are somewhat common, but a copper cooler with a decent fan can still do a good job of cooling.

Well thank you everyone, i am definetly staying with air cooling, I am going to invest in a Coolermaster HAF 932 anywho, now i just have to wait till R* sort the problems out GTA IV and the 200 series cards, if they do.

Thanks for all your opinions everyone

Good case. Good choice.

Manually control the fan on the card and you wont have an issue with temps...A lot of air moves through that case.

That it does

One example - My current idle state temps: (core 1,3,4 are stuck

)

VERY similar to mine :P

Nice work.

**smarteyeball** · 04-07-2009

Cheers mate. With the amount of air flowing through our cases, they'd want to be

I've needed every single fan on my case this past summer. My study where I keep all my pc stuff has no air-con. (Its coming, will be in before next year)...

At times it has been like sitting next to a space heater on my desk.

Video card just throws out so much heat :P

Cooler months coming up. Already seeing awesome temps while under load. Barely cracking 40 degrees....makes me happy.
