Would that fit on a 9800 GTX?

Any suggestions for an aftermarket cooler for an eVGA 9800 GTX? Something below 50.00 preferrably?

Any help is appreciated...thank you!

I am looking to lap the base of my stock 9800 GTX cooler (eVGA) as well as the heat spreader for both the GPU and the memory modules. I was wondering if anybody could let me know if the architecture / method required is similar to a 9800 GT. I ask this because the 9800 GT is the only walkthrough I could find that closely matched my current card.

Also, any tips at all on doing this? I have heard that ceramic thermal paste is better for a GPU cooling solution than silver because it is less conductive. Any truth to this? Because I have had a tube of silver forever now and have used barely any of it...would be a shame to go out and buy some new paste for nothing.

Any help is appreciated...thank you.

LOL it's ok...he's proud of it...whatever.

I wonder if bragging about your rig puts you in the same class as somebody bragging about their car...hmmm....

If you have Vista , you don't install any drivers. It works out of the box.

I'm using Windows 7 RC 7100 right now and all I had to do was plug it in...the drivers are included. This also worked with my copy of Vista 64...definitely uninstall the drivers that crashed during installation. Just plug and pray, lol.

Today comes out what might be the closest thing we get to a third Ghostbusters movie which makes me thirlled to try this game out. Ghostbusters was my first obsession growing up. I loved the cartoon, I had all the toys that for some reason had no ghosts from the show just weird stuff like a monster toilet. I dressed up as a ghostbuster for halloween, I had the uniform, the proton pack, and the trap. I love the movies, even the second one. I even know the Bobby Brown song, "To hot to handle, to cold to hold, they are called the Ghostbusters and they are in control"... "Well I guess were gonna have to take control."

I dont know if I will rent it today or later in the week but I will play this game soon. Cant wait to see the whole gang reunited. So far the game has been getting good reviews so it's going to be an enjoyable game, as it should be, Ghostbusters lends itself well to video games.

Reviews - 360/PS3/PC

IGN UK - 8.0
IGN US - 8.0
BritishGaming.co.uk - Try
Official Xbox Magazine - 8
EDGE - 7
GameInformer - 8

So its looking good. Its out in stores now so I look forward to impressions.

LOL, I didn't know that was Bobby Brown but I guess it makes sense for the time frame. But when YOU think of that song in your head to you hear the Ecto 1 siren from the parts during the movie where the siren was going and the music was also being played? I can't seem to get it "siren-less" which is kind of funny.

A few instances I can think of recently are:

Crysis

Blacksite: Area 51

and Alone in the Dark

These match-ups didn't seem to work at all and left me rather frustrated...I wish developers would just stick to their guns...if the game seems to be coming out fine...don't mess it up with unnecessary driving.

*I do have to give props to Halo for doing it right from day one and making it feel appropriate given the firts-person nature*

I am most likely in the minority here but i feel that a good game does NOT need the now-standard "climb in and drive fast while shooting / dodging enemy fire / obstacles" level. These are rarely ever done well...but when they actually are it becomes more of a surprise to me than a "neat feature".

Anybody else feel like me? Groaning a bit when you see a humvee with a turret sitting at the latest checkpoint?
