Best aftermarket cooler for 7600GT

Post by Sovereign »

I know most people will say Zalman, but any others? The Zalman doesn't cool the RAM which concerns me OCing wise. Is this a legit concern or do I have nothing to worry about with a Zalman and passive RAMsinks? Or is there a better alternative? This card is AGP!

Taking a quick look at Artic Cooling's VGA coolers webpage, it doesn't look like they have any product that support the AGP 6600. Because of that, it seems that your best choice would be Zalman. Although Zalman uses passive heatsinks on the memory, doesn't the fan on the cooler blow onto them? :-k If so, I don't think you should have any problems with cooling them

Another company that makes good VGA coolers is Jetart, but, as far as I know, getting their products is a bit difficult.

I also think that NVSilencer is best for your card.I know that it's available for the 7600GT PCIE but donno if there's a NVSilencer cooler for your AGP too.
