X800 Pro

The X800 Pro, does it come with it's own cooling system or what?

Do I need a cooling system etc or will it have one with it?

Thanks... :thumbs:

All video cards come with their own form of cooling. Some companies put better cooling on their cards than others. If you are just going to run the card at stock speeds, you should be fine. You can put on some additional cooling if you want to overclock.

cool, thanks for the info!

Yes comes with its own heatsink+fan. If you have a nice cool room, you wouldn't need to change out for another cooler, mine is fine just idling and underload. The new cooler for the X800 is a lot better.

If you are looking to overclock though you will need a new cooler like the vga silencer (rev.3 works on x800, and rev 4 is due out shortly). I found the stock cooler very inefficient at cooling above stock. Plus a set of ram sinks help alot as the memory can get very hot.

No you don't. You can overclock with stock cooler.

Sorry, I mean to hijack this thread but I have a question about the x800pro aswell. Is it an AGP or PCI express card?

No, stock cooling works really well. And RAM sinks do absolutely nothing when overclocking. RAM sinks are a waste of money. More for looks than anything else.

I am going to pick up the new VGA Silencer when it comes out.

It is an AGP card.
