my friend just got these is his comp.. it was a special like buy one get one half off so he got both and they are set up sli.... anybody know of a good cooler that i could get for them... need 2x of course...lol but i know that there is limited space between them..
 
bleh. Aint worth it!

8500GT cards suck! I got one only as a temporary card til I get my 2900 Pro....

THIS CARD BLOWS FAT NUTS! It overclocks like crazy (almost 50% oc) but it still sucks.
 
^Keep in mind it's his friend and he obviously chose the card for a reason, whether the reason that he's a noob or not is personal matter.

Newegg.com - Thermalright HR-03 Plus VGA Cooler - Retail

As for the cooler, everyone recommends this, but I'm not sure if he'll fit 2 of 'em.

Arctic cooling makes much cheaper ones, I'm not sure of it's cooling performance but AC is known for good bang for the buck.
 
I don't think the HR-03 will fit 8500GT cards....and its WAY overkill. They run quite cool.

I would just return the cards and get something decent.

2 8500GTs in SLI still can't beat a single 8600GT, and that's HARDLY a good card.
 
thats funny stuff right there ^

but u can say the same thing about the 8600gts or GT too
 
you can probably run them as a passively cooled sli they produce hardly any heat but if he is going for those insane clocks then the thermalright is the way or watercooling.....
