Nvidia 8800GTOC w/Arctic Cooling Accelero S1

I never had a fan on my 8800GT, but I had an 80mm case fan (went to the top exhaust on my NZXT case, but my PSU is too large and wouldn't fit without it's removal) laying around stored away in my computer/electronic box.

I used the little wrap ties (when you buy say, an HDMI cable, it'll come with a little tie or two), and I looped it through the fins and around the heat pipe and secured it through the screw holes. It's very secure.

Since my temps were always high, and I wanted to experiment more with overclocking, I thought I would add a fan to it!

Default OC clocks:
Core Clock: 650 (stock 600)
Mem Clock: 950 (stock 900)
Shader Clock: 1620

Before:
Idle: 56c
Load: 75-83c

After:
Idle: 51c
Load: 67c
Temps aren't 100% official. I never used a program to log them, so they maybe off a few degrees during load.

I put that cooler on my 9600 GSO, doesn't need any fan. silent for my old rig.

@masterchief3k I didn't have a fan on mine for some time, but then I thought "I'm just gonna tie this bitch to this thing". So I did and temps went down to I believe high 70's, like 77C (under full load, of course).

The 9000 series uses a smaller architecture... I think it was 50nm or something versus 60-something. I really don't recall. Regardless, it doesn't require as much power, so temps are lower. I'm glad it's working for ya though :)

how did u mount the fan?

[asdfgoogle]

@cotyslick Pulled a twist tie around the fin on the heat sink then stuck the fan on the heat sink and looped the twist tie through the hole on the fan and twisted it up. Bingo!

I have SO many twist ties from buying so much shit off newegg. lol.

I never over clock.

besides, I'm still using an nVidea 7950 GT

with half a Gig of memory.

Cooling is vital, though.
