When I made the decision not to use water cooling on my video card any
longer, I had to find a cooler that would fit back on my NVIDIA GeForce 7900GT.
After making the dreaded trip back into the parts closet, I was able to dig up the
old stock cooler that came on the NVIDIA card. I thought, "How loud could this
cooler really be?" Within ten minutes of powering the computer on, I decided it was
time to get another GPU cooler. I had completely forgotten how loud the stock cooler
was on, and after being spoiled by water cooling, I needed something better than
stock in terms of both performance and noise levels....
