Heatsink/fan for 9800 Pro?

[jmoore2001]

I'm about to receive my Radeon 9800 Pro and I was wondering if I should get a new, bigger heatsink to go with it? The one on it looks pretty small and a lot of people seem to suggest to overlock this thing. What are some good ones?

why not try it first .

if your not happy with the stock fan try the Tt Giant III. I'm running the Giant II version on my 9800 NP. You can see the III series Here

good god that thing is a monster ...

[Sweeper]

Yeah it is rather large

WOW LMAO

I had the G2 if you read my Radeon 9600 Pro Overclocking article.. Now I am boycotting all Thermal Take products because the stupid f****** heatsink came loose and fried my 9600 Pro. So I can't even play any games, because I'm using a Geforce 2 MX 400 and a Geforce 4 MX on another box. I HATE ALL THERMAL TAKE PRODUCTS I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM AGAIN.

wow that was rather harsh . but understandable

[Sweeper]

curious on how it came loose?? Mine wouldn't move after I installed it.

Most problems like that are caused by end user error, not product malfunction. Still, that reaction is understandable.

jmoore: if it aint broke dont fix it The stock one works pretty well. If your heart is set, I reccomend the Zalman stuff. either that or water cooling.
