Hi a couple of months i bought a 7900GT from new***.com, and the stock settings are 520/750, but i can safely overclock it 550/850 under heavy load with no artifacts even in FEAR, with all settings maxed out. Now my question is, i would like to overclock the GPU a bit more, say at least 600 or more, which cooler other than Liquid, do you propose. My stock cooler doesnt even cover the RAM, and it runs so fast. I want a HeatSink with a Fan that covers the whole damn thing including the RAM. Who wants a partial heatsink, not me. Now i know why i paid only $294 for it. So guys, you have any suggestions.

that is plenty fast enough.. at this point post some pictures and sit their and look pretty... :)
Nah man.. that is more than sufficient for an 256mg video card.. i am getting the X1900XT and that thing is bad ass.. you actually have a reason to overclock that thing..
but on the 7900.. you are not really squeezing that much more out of that card.. it has the 24 pipes and thats it and a pixel shader per pipe.. so all you are doing is putting it throught the pipes faster..

i dont see a point in going faster, but if you must. i would just get some of the ramsinks at egg for like 5.00 pending on the material.. and that should be fine. but at that point you are looking at a barrier at the video card, and at the power supply.

Have Fun,
FIHSNERD
