Posted November 11, 2005 I was not doing much today, and you know, sometimes my graphics card gets too hot and I get artifacts. I'm poor so I can't afford a good replacement heatsink, so my answer was: I removed the shroud from the heatsink and the stock fan and cable tied a high output 60mm fan to it, oh yeah. This is what my poor card would have originally looked like: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 11, 2005 Christ Roady thats pretty damn impressive, 10/10 for originality. Is it noisy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 11, 2005 I think the original fan would be noisier... It's too small to be worth its noise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 11, 2005 It's not that noisy, the stock ones are fairly whiney though and push hardly any air -- I have this fan connected to my front fan controller so I can turn it all the way down so it's hardly audible yet it still pushes a lot more air than the stock fan.

Posted November 12, 2005 Nicely done, I ought to try that sometime... One thing that got me wondering... Are those crumbs on your (I think) sound card? I'm guessing that's his Voodoo 3, but not sure. Don't think there are crumbs either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
