After just killing the last North Korean with a chain gun and power suit in crysis my heart skipped. I saw off in the distance a little squiggly red line. I quickly tried to stop the game before it was too late. More and more of these red and purple squiggly lines kept popping up. No! I had just spent forever killing those annoying North Korean and didn't save it and now my **** GPU was giving out on me? I mean I've been dealing with this darn loud *** noise for ages and now at 100% the fan cannot keep it cool enough for me?
Enough was enough....
I went went and talked to my good friend Aspire.comptech (of www.techist.com/pc) and he recommend a few and then I looked in my wallet and saw that I had no monies.
So I went with the cheap solution that I heard was at least better then the stock cooler.
Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev2
So I ordered off of Petra's Tech Shop
Petra's Tech Shop
Took a week to get to my house -_-
And then I came home and was like “zomfg a box!!!†I started skipping around the house in excitement.
Tore that thing open.
I also ordered 4 fans for my new case (I am using my older case atm since I am getting my case painted by zerodayatk (he is the expert/his dad)(I'll get some pics of that in another thread btw when it's done))
1 of those fans might go on the heatsink later but not atm.
A nice little box... makes it look cheap imo though.
Well here is the stock cooler
Very pretty, Nice design, I love the green and black....
But srsly... no gtfo, I don't want 80C's at 100% fan speed EVEN if there is crappy airflow in this case while playing crysis. This is from my understanding the OLDER stock cooling for the 8800 gt, which means that it performs horrible. So yay.
Ya ya, sexy who cares. I WANT COOLER TEMPS WITH SILENCE!
So ya now I look for a screwdriver... I tried some regular screwdrivers and I couldn't find any small enough... So I spent like a few mins looking around and I found these.
Don't work... I need those X- sized screwdrivers for these screwz... grrr
So after much frustration I looked in my basement and next to an old refrigerator that we used to keep beer in until my mom had my sister I think (ZOMG... idea for cooling! Later though) I found these!
YAY! Finally get it unscrewd with this small *** thing
Yay no screws
