In pursuit of my Team Fortress glitching, I’ve added a PCI slot cooler to my computer — the Antec VCool. In general, a PCI slot cooler mounts into one or two PCI slots (the VCool occupies two), and either draws air into the case or exhausts hot air out of the case. The VCool, positioned directly below the video card, draws cool air into the computer and blows it directly onto the video card. So far, I’ve measured about a 10°C drop in video card temperatures under both idle and load.

With the extra cooling, will the X800XT behave? We shall see.
