Silencing the BFG 9800 OC+?

Sgt_Strider · Post by **Sgt_Strider** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 4:44 pm

I just got the BFG 9800 OC+. Does anyone here know if the card is using a reference design? I intend to replace the stock HSF with a thermalright HR-03GT. I'm afraid there might be compatibility issues if it doesn't use the reference design.

If it has nVidia's reference cooler then its stock. You can easily confirm by verifying your cards cooler into stock nVidia models.

Hi, I'm not sure if I understand you there. Can you look into this for me? I can't tell by looking at the card.

Here's a picture of the card: http://www.bfgtech.com/bfge98512gtocpe.aspx

Sure, it's nVidia's stock cooler and a reference design.

What's a good value hsf for this videocard? Is the AC S1 good? Easy to install? Any instructions on how to remove the stock cooler on the Geforce 9800GT?

The T-Rad2 looks good.
