So then. I decided to change the stock heatsink on my GFX card, a Gainward Bliss 7800GT 512mb. I've used Arctic before for my CPU, so purchased their cooler for 7800's. However, upon removing my old GFX cooler, I discovered the the new one I'd bought doesn't fit, due to design differences with Gainward and NVidia! Doh!
Unfortunatly, the old cooler was hard to get off and the wires for the power supply came out while I was removing it. This leaves me with the option of re-wiring it (something I really don't think I;m capable of doing..), or buying a new one. Even a replacement for the stock one would do, although preferably some kind of quieter upgrade would be nice.
Any suggestions? Sooner I get it fixed the better, I need for my PC formy course (Comp Sci), and am having to type this on a friends laptop...
EDIT: Sorry, meant to say, the cooler I bought was the Artic Cooling Accelero X1 Cooler (6800/7800 Series)
