this cooler is not compatible with my 8600gtXXX, but using goldfries trick i was able to use it, my idle temps is now 40C not that good, but my old cooler ( vf700cu) gave me the same temp, and the s1 is running fanless! and with 1 screw XD
im going 2 try again with some better paste + a fan, i hope my gpu dsnt burn
thank u man!

Eh, the card could barely OC already, furthermore it’s the supposedly the OCed edition of the HD2600XT.

Mason, glad that you liked the review.

For me, I’m sticking to air-cooling as I find it less a hassle. As to your water cooled rig, I suppose it still does have air-flow, after all water-cooled setup still needs air-flow as air-flow also helps cooling parts like RAM, hard disk and the bridges.

This cooler looks pretty sweet (and your review is quite excellent).

I have a water cooled rig though, so it would have no airflow whatsoever… I doubt that would be a good thing.

I probably ought to water cool the graphics card anyhow, but it’s a bit of a pain. I’m thinking of switching back to air in my next build (since the heatpipe towers are performing so well) and perhaps I’ll go with something like this in that one.

Thanks for the effort put into the review,

- Mason

Yeah, well no harm trying fitting on newer graphic cards.

As you can see, even I manage to mount it based on only 1 of the 4 points given. then grip it with the supplied holder.

The size of the cooler is big, that’s the main drawback for me.

But the performance of the cooler is good.

Actually this applies to every other cooling device.

Just like my Scythe Ninja, Thermalright SLK947U & 900U and many of my other heatsinks - they’re just sitting there as really heavy paper weights.

Pretty attractive. But as you said, it might not fit into future cards, a big drawback though

Retails for about RM 120.
