any idea where to buy aftermarket gpu coolers? Are they as simple to install as cpu coolers?

After changing my case, my graphics card is still getting 85deg in a ATX case with 3 intake and 1 output 120mm fans. Previous case was 89deg so changing the case show some improvement

This one.. It help alot with the 290x temp..

But isn't 80~ degrees on load a normal temp?

the artic cooler looks good. any idea which shop sells?

care to share how much improvement you got by replacing the 290X cooler?

80+ is abit warm for me.. i upgraded frm a asus DCII which was quieter and at load only hit 70deg

this current cooler only has a single fan which has to work v hard (extra noise) to keep temps low

why bother changing? you void your warrenty? and if it's an old card upgrade to a non reference cooler 1? like gigabyte with 3 fans? or MSI with twin frozr which is alot cooler and silent.. or ASUS dunno what directcu? which is also more expensive..

Look up Powergamers over at the blue forum. SGD 110 I think.

TS if you really wanna swap out to just another air cooling is really pointless and waste of money. The difference of 10deg is really not worth the time to do it and risk voiding your own warranty.

Furthermore there is no reason to do so as it is really normal loading temperatures. Not unless you are using a r9 290 290x with operating temps at 95deg. Then that ine you might wanna get a better air cooler.

A g10 bracket plus a aio cooler will be a better way out for you. Else a wc.

Be nice. I did Google search but could not figure out the "aio" part. I don't understand the terms basically so not knowing whether it's a bracket or a fan I won't know what to search for.

AIO is all in one.

The g10 uses asetek base liquid cooler to mount it and cool the core of the gpu.

There is a list of asetek base AIO cooler that can be used with the g10 under their compatible list.

It'll be great if Sim Lim Square has these affordable GPU coolers. I have an old HD 6850 so I don't mind opening up the stock heatsink and fan, and installing a Arctic cooler for $30-$60. The graphics card will run cooler and also less noisy at full loads.

ARCTIC | Graphics Card Cooler

Powergamers only carry a few choices:
PowerGamers Arctic Cooling Products In Stock!

By the time you that 6850 sussed out, you might as well spend that same amount of money on a newer graphics card :s22:

Precisely the point.

And 6850 is really not worth to cool it also. Be it Air or Water.

Lol finally we don't have to cable tie AIO to GPU anymore :s13:

How much is the g10 bracket?
