Question Searching for special heatsinks for 1 slots cooling, my main body above or behind gpus, exists something like that?

[ruthan]

Hello,
i have problems with free slots, i have use 2 slots cooler, which are blocking 1 additional slot, are there some heatsinks with main heatsink body at the top (above) cards, or behind them? I have Coolermaster HAF X 942 case, so there is plenty of place.

If they are exist i would use them on anything between:
- ATI X800, Geforce 7900 to much modern compatible cards as possible, if is cooling performance good enough, i have 4 fans in case and i can place additional at the top of cards, there is some fan adapter for that in my case, or can use some flexible cable fan holder.

I know that there are some 1 slots watercooling blocks, but i trying to avoid water cooling as far as possible, if there is the other way..

Could someone point me to such coolers?

Some form of Arctic cooling Accelero is what comes to mind.

It would have to be some older product, because in present products i dont see anything like it:

I found what i wanted, its old Asus Geforce 6 cooler:

Question is if someone created something like this stand alone, or if there are other cards with such cooler.

Pretty much what water blocks are for now.

i dont know if you can find it...

but the spitfire from thermalright.

However thermalright heat sinks were sort of pricey... at the point where you could probably spend a bit more and get a better card entirely then trying to cool a old card like that.

I theory i dont mind recommendation of some 1slot waterblocks (1 slot include card) for old card too, if such thing exists..

That is exactly what i was working for.. but it seems that on picture are 2 products.. not only one second part (VRM-R5) looks like not included in Spitfire package.
Get that rare Asus 6600GT card with nice cooler, probably would be neither cheap and easy to.. What counts is have more possiblities and bigger list of possible options.

But it really make difference, that Geforce 2-7 era fans with 3000-6000 RPM, are pure nightmare and it stopping me using machine with them, its like vacuum cleaner.

That's really a bad reference point to work from.

The cooling systems on those old cards only could handle about a third of what a modern GPU puts out in terms of heat. (Check TDP and power draw figures for a 5900 Ultra vs., say, a 1660Ti.)

I dont understand, you are only one who in this thread care about new cards, if there is water coolers compatible with old cards, it would be nice, otherwise i dont care.
Because these cards are smaller TDP 40-75W it should be easier make them silent, it theory, but there was some evolution with coolers too.. aftermarket not water gpu coolers market almost died.. and if something exist is not single slot solution, but some free slots position eater..

Ah, i misunderstood then. Thought you were trying to find a single-slot cooler for a newer card.

 

[aigomorla]

i dont see the point in a single slot cooler when the cards all now come dual slot.. :\

And if its a single slot card, then well, it comes with a single slot cooler.

I dont mind to know such thing too, even for something like 1050TI / 750TI they have reasonable TDP < 75W too, but it was not primary target.

Why people so often question, if some no go mainstream with all.. there is always the point. In my case is retro gaming and multibooting machine, i have some cards for specific OSes, which others doenst support.. so i need lots of cards and slots.
Linus need this too for its 7 gpus multi user machine..
