i am looking for a budget vga cooling fan for my 7900gs. my card is 64'c at idle mode. thank you.

fan speed:

cpu 8536rpm
system 30685rpm
aux1 11236rpm
aux2 30685rpm

is that normal?

V-1 Ultra - $12.95 + S/H

Have it on my 7900GS right now voltmodded to 1.507v Core and 2.18v mem, and it cools well. Definitely a great cooler for the small price of $12.95. With only one fan load temp was 75C, but that's with 1.507v. At stock volts, it didn't really budge past 52C load for me, and that's after 30-45 minutes of ATITool's 3D viewer.

Considering it's so cheap and you should definitely see a large improvement over what you have now, that would be my recommendation. I admit installation was a complete PITA though.

With only one fan load temp was 75C, but that's with 1.55v. At stock volts, it didn't really budge past 52C load for me, and that's after 30-45 minutes of ATITool's 3D viewer.

+1 however it might get in the way with a rear 120mm fan.
