ok so i overclocked my 9800 gt from 600 stock clock to 655/1675/950 and i got a asswooping 15 fps increase in crysis, i was like wow, but while playing crysis or any gpu intensive game or app that gets my gpu load to 100 percent, i hit up to 98c temps. even with out overclock card is ratherhot but i have extremly good airflow, so thats not the problem. i was planing on buying an aftermarket cooler for my card, i think i can get it to 700 coreclock with an aftermarket cooler, and will keep me fro m upgrading card at least another year.
this is the cooler iw as planing to get, would it fit?
ZEROtherm CoolMaxx 3000 Dual Fan VGA Cooler|||it is always the best to use an aftermarket cooler
and the one you are planing to use is just perfect.
but idk how are you overclocking your video card
but i recommend you Riva Tuner, which is an overclocking
program that allows you to adjust clock, shaders and memory
speed, and you can adjust the fans speed also.
but getting the new cooler i don't think fans speed will
be needed.
but try not to take the card to the limit it can
shorten its life span and and you are runing the risk
of getting a toasted video card just in case something
fails and the video card is overclocked at maximum
