Looking for a GPU heatsink

[turpit]

Hey folks,

Any leads out there for a heatsink only replacement for the ATI x1900 series video cards?


Peace

Here's an easy one, take the card out your machine...

This way the Stock Heatsink and Fan instantly becomes silent ;-)

I seriously doubt that you'll get a silent or passive cooling solution for an x1900, I would love to be proved wrong here but I really doubt it...

Zalman coolers would be your best value 'VERY QUIET' solution. I have used a few of their CPU and GPU solutions and they rock...

Good luck, and I'll keep an eye out to see how you get on...

Since it consumes 120w during peak operations, it is ill advised to use any type of passive cooling solution.

The arctic cooling accelero x2 would also be a good candidate.Even at full speed it's inaudible.
And its said to be easier to install the zalman vf-900.

Wow it'd have to be very easy to install then, I've just installed a VF900 yeasterday and it was the easiest Heatsink and fan I've ever installed, process done in 10 mins, including opening the PC, removing the card, removing the stock HS/F, installing the Zalman, replacing card into PC and powering up...

The Zalman VF900 is much quieter than the Stock reasonably quiet Gainward Bliss HS/F.

I've grown to be a huge fan of Zalman products, I've used about 4 different Heatsink/Fan solutions from them and have been 100% happy every time, they have always outperformed my expectations...Top company producing top quality gear...
