not sure what you consider cheap: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835106112

Will that cooler fit on my 9800gtx only list up to the 9600? Was getting ready to order it but I noticed my card isn't listed

[martini161]

it should as the mounting holes n the 8800gtx are the same as those on teh 9800gtx

kk appreciate the quick response. Just got my rig back up with one card and I'll order that cooler shortly and have both up soon

Well I put the thermaltake duo orb gpu cooler. Seemed to be working but after a bit of time I noticed that my temps were rising. The back of the board behind the chip was hot to the touch and I couldn't touch the cooling block for more than a few seconds. The nvidia control panel showed my chip temp at 103 c. I think that's a bit hot. So in conclusion I don't recommend this cooler on the 9800gtx . time to find something different.

i wouldnt go buying something else just yet, are you sure its all bolted down securley? check to make sure all of your TIM didnt ooz off the side of the chip either. and BTW, i fing riva tuner to be better for temp monitoring

Well I replaced the tim and it hit 95 c and climbing b4 I shut it down
