    R9700 Pro New Heatsink

    Hi All

    I have had this 9700 Pro for a while now, and the fan i think has started to give up the goose! So i need to replace it, i was hoping to get a silent heatpipe if possible, does anyone know of such a thing?

    Reviews or links would be appreciated!

    I had this zalman heatpipe on my old 9700pro:

    It was fine even without the optional fan. You can also buy the latest model with 2 heatpipes from Quiet PC. It should still be compatible with the 9700:

    Arctic VGA silencer was also very good on those, vented out the back and silent.

    What about a Zalman VF900?? You could run the fan at lower speeds! I know it is not totally silent but passive cooling means that your card is going to be quite hot unless you have good airflow in your case!!

    Hi

    I tried one of those Vantec coolers before, and its too noisey for me. Thats why i wanted to go passive. I have excellent airflow in the case 2 pull and 1 push SilenX 120mm fans so im not to fussed about the heat the passive will create.

    I order one of the Zalmans mentioned in the first post, hopefully it will be here today!

    I got one for 15 quid off EBay. The advantage is that when you get a new card you could probably use it on that one also!

    I don't think the 9700 has a temp monitor built in.
