| well it's intended as passive cooling and with the amount of heat todays top vidcards put out you probably won't have much headroom for overclocking. If you place fans to cool te passive heat dissipators you could probably gain quite a bit and oc a bit more. And read Richbastard's article on videocard cooling here |

| well, i know its a passive cooler, but i remembered seing something about an optional fan with it, and i ahve a fan already so i was thinkin it might be a decent way to get a better o/c. wanted 2 kno if anyones tried it first....if not, i probly will  hmm, the one in that article only has one heat pipe, the one i was looking at has 2. the single does fairly well in those tests tho. how big a difference would the extra heat pipe make. you guys think it would be significant? |

| A HP80c (single heatpipe) can cool a 9800XT passivly at 76°C. The dual heatpipe will halp to bring more heat to the backside of the cooling unit. Thus the front should remain a bit cooler. Should work pretty fine. |

 | those chips are rated higher then CPU's so 76°C ain't that bad, unless you overclock of course

| then just add a fan or two and performance will increase tenfold. Quote:

| 5th element DVD should be budget by now  the stock cooler for that card cooled it to about 72°C best I ever got it is with the ZM-OP1 fan at 12V and that was a 56-60°C |
