exclamation New Cooling for my ATI 9800 PRO ?
I just have bought a New ATI 9800 PRO Videos card about two weeks ago, and the dame fan has already burnt out on it now all it does is twich alittle and make nose so i unpluged it and straped on a old CPU fan i had for my P III. It seems to be working. But i would like to get a better fan and heat sink for it do you guys have any suggestions on after market cooling kits for the ATI 9800 PRO ?

Giant II is horrible.. if you want a REAL heatpipe cooling system check this out, I have it on my 9500pro with the optional fan (noiseless 80mm slim fan) and I'm doing wonders with this card.

It's gotten expensive since I bought it (3-4 months ago), prolly cause its so good

I'd go with the Zalman hsf. I hear they're alittle tricky to install but work great. Never used one myself though

Thanks... Yea that is a loom over the MotherBoard power wires. As for the sleeves you see on the other power wires I did those my self and I actually got the sleeving from my brother. He is a car audio installer and they have a bunch of it at their shop. Next time I will buy the PSU already sleeved..lol just way more work then I was ready for....lol


Oh and here is a pic from today.... yea I am picky about keeping this bad boy clean.....

Hey Krazy did you have to cut your wires to get the sleaves over you wires or are their cuts in the sleaves themselfs?

Radeon 9800 flashed to a 9800 Pro... the ram is getting pretty toasty and if I turned up the memory clock another 20 MHz it could probably cook hamburgers.

Alright guys... I don't want to sound retarded... but ... I found a side bracket fan to place next to my video card... is this going to do anything? or do I need to buy a fan that will replace the stock fan and heatsink on my card right now?

No thats not a blower, does your Video card still have you stock fan and heatsink on it ? If it does than that fan you bought will help alot but if you fan is burnt out on your card and it just has the stock heatsink on i would recomended getting another heatsink like this one Click Here
