7300 GS Advice please
hi all,
Well, i have just fitted an arctic accelero 2 to my 7300 gs, which, as advertised as compatible on many websites (but not he packaging of the product!) doesnt seem to fit very well, and i'm a little concerned about my temps.
according to nvidia controll panel, its idling at 65-70C, but when gaming shot up to 105C after only 3 minutes!
i have a nzxt hush case (bad choice i know) with a standard 120mm front intake fan, so airflow is not ideal.
i'm thinking of putting the old heatsink back on the card, can anyone recommend a decent fan? or hsf combo for it?
noise is my main concern, hence the choice of accelero, but of course card life and safety are paramount.
thanks,
drum

zalman vf-700 @5v or even 7v can be very quiet and cool a lot better than many passive coolers
galaxy has it default on their 7300GT

if you want, you can get an all copper one, copper/aluminum, or all aluminum...
i would get the half n' half one as the 7300GS won't need heavy cooling.

both,
could only get clearance by facing it in a direction that meant i could only mount in one hole, not 2, so not very secure.
has anyone used one of these?

looks a bit crap to me...
