    I just got a nice new cooler for my 6800GT:

    Sytrin KuFormula VF1

    ?action=view&current=kuformula.jpg&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch2

    I've attached a 120mm fan to it

    ?action=view&current=120mmfan.jpg&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch1

    I'm more than statisfied with the result :)
    The GPU idle temp is 39 Celsius now (was 52),under load is around 47-50 (was sometimes around 70 :eek: )
    And it's noiseless :D
    I have noname case with only one 80mm exhaust fan and very poor airflow.I will install a 120mm on top and a 80mm intake this weekend (will arrange the cables too).
    It cost me €22+13p&p from Germany,but well worth it.

    Oh,and it's a breeze to install it!

    I just thought might share a succesful cooling solution alternative to Zalmans and Silencers.
    Or maybe I could name my thread as "My first GPU cooler mod,opinions please" ala "my first mod etc." threads?

    Good to know that...
    So I'll be back when I can afford a nice Conroe setup with quad SLI or something.

    Can you get any extra o/c out of it since installing the new cooler?

    I've tried to set it to Ultra speeds only so far (as I had to buy some memory heatsinks) and the card run flawless.But I'll try this weekend how far can it be pushed.
