Coolers for 8800GTX?

The cooler will cost as much as a better card than the 8800gtx. Just go on ebay and get a better card for 30$ instead of spending 50$ on a cooler.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Denis_43 : "Geforce 8800GTX temps?"

Mine 8800GTX goes idle 65C
Under Load 88 i try furmark amd it had gone to 107 for a 1 min?
It is fine?
Also i blowed 3 psu with this card the psus was chinese trashes.
Should i Go for Cooler Master GX450?
Amd are the temps fine?
Because i like this gpu and im scared to not damage it or any other components.
🙁

I believe those cards can go up to 105C. Either way, you're due for a GPU upgrade. Stop wasting money on PSUs and get a better video card IMO. Look for like the RX 570/470 if you're on a tight budget.

Denis_43 No one appreciates classic computer hardware more than me. But be good to yourself and your computer. The PSU below has solid performance and offers great value. If your graphics card holds sentimental value for you and you're not willing to part with it, then so be-it. But for just $50, you could buy a used 750 Ti off Ebay, and it would offer 4x greater performance: http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GeForce-8800-GTX-vs-Nvidia-GTX-750-Ti/m9271vs2187

If you proceed with the 750 Ti, just make sure that it has the video output that you require (e.g. VGA, HDMI, etc).

my 8800gts card ran hot not that hot idle but hot max one card I pulled the cooler off and the thermal pads were melted the 2ed was close to it ..

you max temp of 88c is a bit high but 85c was common . you know if you have registered evga cards and submitted all you buy info to evga them cards had lifetime warrantees . evga sent me a gtx 960 in exchange ??? [should of sent the 2 cards in as a sli matching set ??]

are you sure you not in bad need of blowing out the dust clogging up the coolers fins blocking the fans air flow ???
