Zalman nb32j on a GeForce2 GTS?
Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2003 11:55 am
Hi all,
I've purchased a Zalman NB32J, originally intending to use it on the northbridge in replacement of a noisy Thermaltake Crystal Orb. Problem is, I can't remove the Orb without removing the motherboard, and I've never done anything inside my PC that is quite that involved.
Plan B is to hook up a Zalman Fanmate to the Orb to quiet it down, but that leaves me with an NB32J sitting and looking pretty on my desk.
I don't have a super-current system (Athlon 1200, Geforce2GTS video), so I'm wondering if the NB32J would be adequate to cool the Geforce2 GTS chip.
I know people have successfully used the NB32J on Radeon 8500 cards - has anybody tried using it on a Geforce2GTS?
I suppose I might give it a shot with the case open and low-demand video. I have an ASUS card, so I can monitor the temps using software. I just don't want to cook the chip.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
