Hi guys,
I am in the process of building a new pc and will soon be buying the graphics card, but heres the thing, I am trying not only to keep temps down but also the noise! And if I remember correctly from my last decent graphics card the noise can be like a jet plane
Firstly can anyone recommend a graphics card that'll take an aftermarket h/s (i'm considering on getting either 8800GT or HD3870?)
Secondly what aftermarket cooler(s) are the best for performance and low noise?
Thirdly, I have never taken apart a graphics card in my life so does anyone know of any guides on how to do this kinda thing? (possibly with pictures)
Fourth, if you offer a suggestion please can you also let me know the complete kit that i'll need, ie.what fan, paste, adhesive stuff, clips etc etc... as i said I am a complete noob at this type of thing, but wanna try.
I've seen on some websites that they say you need VRM h/s, yet I seem to only find ram sinks, are these the same thing?
Any and all advice is most welcome.
Thanks,
Peace
