Alternative cooling for 1900's.

[Rhentno]

There seems to be another option for us 1900 owners. I use the 900cu and I'm happy, but it's nice to know there are alternatives.

There are also some other cooling solutions for NB, cpu, etc. Too bad they only do domestic delivery...but if anyone is going on a trip, heads up.

Nice things about the stock sink is it pushes the hot air out of your case... and these suckers run pretty hot.. mine felt like a hair drier on medium after 2 hours of FEAR.. lol

I got to agree that although the stock cooling is not that great at least all that hot air is not hanging out inside my case. My X1800XT 512meg feels like a hair dryer also. I lapped the HS and used AS5 to reinstall it and it is a little better, But I sure as hell don't want the hot air that is blowing out the back to be going inside the case.

two of those with the vreg sinks and a new case side for my v1000 with a mesh area over the cards and a 120mm fan bracket.. which I might not need now.. but I think water is the way to go for serious cooling in crossfire mode.. my top card hits over 90c and I get random lockups in BF2 when I OC the pair to 675 on the cores... a very conservative number.. but it's too much... at 625 they seem to behave well. Anyways... these blocks look slick.. going to have to re-do my whole loop and add a 2nd radiator, but what the hell.. I like projects!
