Hey Guys,
This is my first time modding a graphics card and it was indeed fun. I just recently got my 8800GT step-up card from EVGA and decided to purchase an aftermarket VGA cooler for this card! As we all know the temperature is horrendous with stock cooling which can reach up to +85C :shok:. I was stuck between the HR-03GT and the AC Accelero S1, but soon realized that the temperature difference between the two are quite close. I ended up purchasing the AC Accelero S1 since it was cheaper and it performed almost on par with the HR-03Gt. Here are the materials I have purchased for my 8800GT cooling:
1 - Arctic Cooling Accelero S1
2 - Enzotech BCC9 Low Profile Forged Copper Ram Sinks
1 - Yate Loon DS12L 120MM Fan
1 - ArctiClean 1&2 Cleaning solution
1 - AC MX-2 Thermal Compound
Here are some pictures:
Here are all the materials.
Here is the EVGA 8800GT Vanilla.
