Phil Gates Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 uh oh, i need to get a new card then in a low end budget but i need performance as well out of it. just buy a fan for a radeon, simple enough. get a more powerful fan and heatsinks while you're at it and overclock it :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivion Posted September 28, 2003 Author Share Posted September 28, 2003 can you direct me to any site for a more powerful fan ?? i can get an extra powerful heat sink to have much more performance ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Tutty Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 the Vantec Iceberq4 CCB-A4C is a nice cooler and should fit your card nicely, it comes with some BGA (square)ramsinks too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
