Nairagorn 说:The problem with liquid is possible leakage or corrosion. The thing I linked to above is passive, no fans, no water. Should be pretty quiet. Reviews I've read make me think it'll work decently. Cheap too (about $20). Of course, I've never used a liquid cooled system, so I can't really say.
lower it down to human standards through some form of drivers updates or whatnot
Not too likely, although you may be able to find a utility to lower the voltage or clock speed... reverse overclocking if you will. Drivers will have little or no effect on the parts heat output.


Nice, just decided to order one as well, I decided to have money for something else other than just a new graphics card, so this will have to do.Nairagorn 说:It is a bit of a mess and I've tidied the case up to the best of my abilities.
Also, the cooler just arrived, installed with no problem, now my card is running at a nice 40 degress C.
Now, if I could only get the crappy little MSI fan on my motherboard to shut up I'd be golden.
What is GPU1?
2836 rotations per minute
While my system fan is at 10
(er, I have a system fan? I know I have one on my power supply, my cpu fan and one on my graphics card...)
Sir Prince 说:Okay it hit 70 degress celsious. but dropped down to 50 after 10-15 minutes.
Earlier it didn't quite reach 60 though. But the maps seem to be getting progressively larger in Crysis.
The thing that nair bought looks interesting, how exactly is it installed? And, does it void the warrenty?
EDIT: It drops down from 70 really fast. Like, two minutes and it was at 60.
