Well im getting an ELSA ATI RADEON 9800 PRO:
256MB DDR
256-Bit
DVI/TV-Out
8X AGP
Model "FALCOX 980FX PRO"
From what I've heard 9800 Pros overheat easily but I couldnt find a heat sink for it.  So, I was wondering:  Will seven fans, 3 Vantec "Stealth" 80mm case fans, the video card fan, and the two fans that come with the computer along with the PSU fan keep it cool?  I'm going to overlock the 2500+ to 3200+.  Will this keep it cool enough?

I had trouble understanding this post, so I typed it out in a more understandable format for others.  No offence meant Aaron.


I personally think that with that many fans, you wont have a problem at all keeping that thing cool enough.

Thats what I think.. You've got quite a bit of fans in that case of yours.  Mine has 2 fans built into the case and thats it.  Im not sure of what the temperature inside is, but Ive never had an overheating problem.  I also keep my PC in the basement where its usually 5 degrees cooler (around 65-70) than upstairs.
