Graphics cards nowadays are the hottest and most power consuming components found inside our computers and battle this you need innovative solution from many angles, not the least from the cooling manufacturers. Even if NVIDIA’s new 8800 series are the “hottest” cards around, ATI’s latest Radeon X19xx series is far from a cool series either. At Mad Shrimps they’ve published an article where they compare ATI’s stock cooler with four other third party solutions. An interesting comparison, not just to see how efficient ATI’s own cooler is, but also how much of a difference better cooling will do for your temperatures.
The differences are big when it comes to both noise and cooling capacity and its pretty easy to see the advantages of using a third party cooler.
