Cooling My Vid Card

[jonnyboro]

Hi. I would like to know what the best way to cool my Creative GF2 Pro is. I have already got an evercool card ccoler (rested on the back of my pci modem blowing upwards at the card hehe). My Card settings are from 200/401 to 210/455 (I got it to 460 with a desk fan blowing at the back of the computer but elec bill rocketed I am a bit reluctant to try sticking heatsinks on after my Gf2 MX got ruined, so more air is the way to go for me

Hey jonnyboro,
How the heck did you ruin your MX? How big is your desk fan? Isn't it just a like a 300mm fan? Cuz if you pay so much for bill, then it must be a HUGE fan. I have my side open and have a small desk fan blowing on it. Brought down my cpu temp from 54C to 46C X-). Anyways, I had my Geforce2 MX overclocked to 200 - 200 before. But I wanted it to last longer so I pulled it down to 175-175. Anyways, I was able to do that because I had an awesome fan - Blue orb. Still works pretty good. You might wanna try it. Anyways, I should look up that card cooler you got. It seems interesting.

I took the top off a HeatSink/Fan combo and worked the screws so that it attaches right to the heat sink on my card. It hangs up-side-down and won't come off... It blows most of the heat away, and runs right off the 3V already in your computer. At worst, you scratch up your heat sink a bit. ;-)
