Air cooling or water cooling is the best for ASUS EN8800GT

[Sovan]

I've bought ASUS EN8800GT 3Weeks ago.
I see it get 50C Idle and 60C+ full load.

Now i want to buy the air or water cooling to cool it.??
I don't know which product is the best cooling.

I really appreciate for the recommend.


Thanks

Water cooling will generally yield lower temps on the GPU, but will leave stuff like your memory chips and voltage regulators to fend for themselves with no cooling. Most people opt for a better air cooler.

Air cooling is also MUCH easier than water cooling. For water cooling you have to worry about leaks and you have water proof the PC. You also have to run tubes to a water pump, But it does cool better.

60C at load is not that bad. I'm not sure what you're worrying about, unless you plan to overclock it.

Water is better, but you have to maintain it. Air cooling is more "set and forget".

I'd go with air cooling. it's much easier to blow a can of air across the heatsink every few months than to have to watch and maintain a water kit all the time.
