Added Ram Sinks from Thermaltake ram kit of stuff that was left over attatched with AS epoxy

Removed old HSF from Ti4200 and added Volcano 9 HS with Speeze 50 CFM fan attatched to core with AS Epoxy

I was actually quite supprised, I ran 3dmarks 01 before mod which scored a 10096, then I ran it after with the same tests and it scored a 10291

I haven't done any OC with CPU or GPU yet, just all stock speeds.

If you look to the right of the massive HS on the GPU you can also see I added a HS to the South Bridge.

Forgot to add, I only put ram sinks on the top of the card. The card actually has 8 chips, (128 meg version) but i figured with the chips sitting right on top of each other i would only need to cover the 4 on top, drawing up the heat from the others...also some space issues.

wowzers. Thats a nice mod. I wouldnt like loosing all those PCI slots. I need a NIC and Sound at least and i always like to have room for something else. Nice mod tho.

Edit: looking again it ony looks like it took 3 slots-not so bad but still more than id like to give. How loud is it?

Nice!, yet I find myself wondering if a copper rackmount cpu heatsink might work better space-wise.

good idea darknight-i only question the weight of the sink going on there. Perhaps an alum rack mount sink. It is only a vid card :D

Good point Zerileous, did not think about that. Mabye if you reverse the airflow it would push up un the card and offset the weight!;). It would be possible to use a dead card in the next pci slot and dremmel a hole to macth the fan opening.

Very nice MOD only problem is from the pictures it looks like it blocks both your other memory slots.
