X800 XT Platinum follow up

[hilly22]

Hi,

This is a follow up from a previous posting. Could anybody tell me
a good link or website to go to which will give me a very good cooling
system for an X800 XT Platinum edition graphics card?

Many thanks

Jeremy

I assume you mean air cooling, and not a waterblock?

Thanks, I bought one.

Do I have to disconnect the onboard fan already on the card?

Yes, and remove the original heat sink, too (obviously). The Arctic Cooling
fan plugs into the original fan connector.

The Arctic Cooling fan *may* be a 2-pin. Depending on the card, you may have
a 3-pin fan connector. (The 3rd pin is for RPM monitoring). If that's the
case, just plug the new fan into two of the pins on the socket; make sure
the wire colors match up with the original.

Does your motherboard have an AGP locking lever?
