    AKASA Vortexx NEO VGA cooler

    Has anyone used one of these with an 8800GT?

    I know they are compatable but do you need extra RAM heatsinks etc?

    No, it comes with 8 thermal pads for the RAM if you are using a 512Mb version, if you have a 1GB version just leave the cooler on the back side of the card.

    It is a tiny bit noiser than the stock cooler at 29% but you will drop the load temps by about 40 degrees and the noise isn't that much louder.

    yep no extra ramsinks needed... got one on my 8800gt and it dropped my idle temps by 15 degrees on full which i cant actually hear above my other fans so i keep it on 100% and i never go above 60 degrees on load... in case that helps
