    Aftermarket cooling for GTX 280

    Does anyone know if there are any aftermarket coolers available yet?
    I understand that thermalright are bringing out the HR-03 GTX, but i'm not sure when it'll be available?

    Anyone know of any other coolers?

    I'd prefer not to go with water cooling, but if that is what's needed....

    The GTX200 series don't seem to get that hot at all when looking at reviews, the GTX280 does produce more heat that the GTX260 though...
    Either way, I wouldn't really like tp know the answer of your question, nevertheless I'm pretty curious myself also, hence I'm getting the GTX260 myself

    Re: Aftermarket cooling for GTX 280

    Don't know about the 260, heard it generally stays a bit cooler, but I've had the 280 upto 103c (on desk, lid off case, before ending the test) with furmark and the fan at 100%.
    Under the simulator I use it doesn't get that high, but I'd like to ensure that it doesn't when rackmounted.
