I have a Gainward Bliss 7900GT Golden Sample which has, I think, a non-standard layout for a 7900GT.
After two years the cooler has become so hopelessly clogged up with horrible that I have to clock it down to 400mhz just to avoid artefacts in WoW, and it's become progessively worse at more intensive stuff like Crysis and Half-Life Ep 2 as it gets more covered in dirt. Having had a good long look at it I'm not convinced that, if I take the HSF off to clean it, I'll be able to get it back on.
So I want to get a replacement HSF just in case that happens (and I want to know that there's something available before I try to clean it) but again, with the non-standard design, I don't know if I can just get an ordinary cooler and slap it on.
So: does anyone know if an ordinary Zalman cooler (or similar in the £10-£20 range) can be fitted to this card? I don't need serious overclocking (this PC will probably be replaced within the year, or whenever Ep 3 comes out) so if you have a recommendation for a cheap HSF that will do fine, please do![]()
