No More fan

[wildbilly2k]

My computer stopped botting but it is the motherboard and i have know way to test to see if it works but my geforce 2 pro fan sttopped moving but the error light isnt coming on so i think it is ok but what would be a good suggestion on fan and heatsink for this card.

You have 3 choices:

1) Get a 40x40x10(or 20) mm fan and affix it on your current video card Heatsink.

2) Buy a Crystal Orb or similiar small GPU cooler(15mm in height)

3) Buy an IU Cooler and really cool your GPU (24-35mm in height)

An Alpha IU cooler will fit on a GF2 or GF3 with no modification and is the best option.

Some like the Speeze http://www.so-trickcomputers.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=S&Product_Code=S7&Category_Code=C3 will be a tight fit.

I use this one:

The only GPU IU cooler to avoid is the Thermaltake Low profile IU golden orb

how would i be able to get a 60mm IU cooler on my 50mm area on the chip on my vid card

I think that if a Cpu die can be utilized with an IU cooler surely the GPU chip can utilize it to. :p

This is an Alpha Pal 15u or 153 on a GF3

Hey SilversinkSam, please fix those pics, i would love to see them.

[wildbilly2k]

hey man how does it stay on with themal adhesave but i think i am going to stick with the crystal orb but until i get the time to order i can do with out because the fan i dont think did much either and the heatsink is plastic so i dont think it needs much cooling.
