    7900GT air or water cooling

    Hi,
    I'm considering a 7900GT, but they're noisy as hell. I've already got a watercooled setup, but dismantling it to put in yet another component is a pain in the ass. How noisy is the Zalman V900? It's either that or another waterblock....

    Cheers....

    Tom

    im in the same problem with my 6600GT, the stock fan is pretty noisy but i cant be bothered to change my watercooling to put in a waterblock.

    i decided to go with an arctic cooler in the end - its much quieter than the stock fan

    watercooling would only be really worth it if you was going to overclock the card imo
