Passive cooling for a Radeon 9600Pro?

Ruahrc · December 6th, 2003, 04:29 AM

I just bought a new Radeon 9600Pro 128MB video card. The cooling fan on it has developed a crack in one of the fins- and so it is making a loud noise when it spins. It's getting worse so I'm assuming eventually the fan will just crack in two- something I'd rather not have happen.

I guess it'd be nice to buy some kind of passive cooling solution for the card- does anyone know where I can get one for a 9600Pro and how much they cost? If it's too much then I might try and get a new fan based cooler but I want this card to be very quiet. Otherwise I think I'm still within my newegg 30 days...

Anyways, what are some good passive cooling solutions for the 9600Pro?

I dont't understand why you would want to go fanless, but here: http://www.casecooler.com/zazmvgaheco.html

i doubt you need a high performance cooler for a 9600pro.

The Vantec IceBerg 4 is a good cooling solution for your Radeon. It's quiet and very effective.

hey thanks AR, my 9800's fan is dying slowly and that fan looks like just the thing to replace the stock with!
