    Hi all,
    Is their a cooler on the market that will fit my 9800Gx2, its over heating badly. It might just need a clean out which i will try and do tonight. But if that fails i just want to know if their is a cooler that will fit my card and it has 2 GPU chips on this card so a little bit differint then your normal.

    If not, and if you have an open slot, you can get PCI fan cards that dont need to sit on the GPU.

    Also look into the Case's air flow system: it might be a pocket of hot air somewhere thats causing your problems. If not you can try underclocking it for the time being. If you have additional slots to install case fans - do.

    The only thing on the market tailored to your card looks like water cooling blocks. But unless you are overclocking a card, it really shouldnt be needed.

    I think i will try a case fan which i can fit blowing at the video card. I did not think of doing that.

    Thanks for the tip.
