right now i am running a ATI Rage 128bit Magnum 16 meg video card, i am happy with the performance, i don't alot of hardcore gaming so this card is perfect for me but alas, it has only been with me a few days and i am already thinking about video card cooling

i have a small 60mm cooler master low profile fan that i want to use to cool the card, but i am at a loss on how to attach it to the card or even having it attached to case blowing on the video card


anyone got any suggestions???

Well, if you have enough room, you can consider to use two little point of SuperGlue in two of the corner of the Gpu to fix this HS, and obviously a thin layer of Artic Silver in the middle ;)

One way to attach the fan is with Superglue gel or Silicine glue.

Here's a tip, go to a drug store or supermarket and buy a pack of Bausch and Lomb Sight Saver temple hinge rings(small washers).

They only cost .59 cents for 10

You can put a screw threw them if you have screws or simply glue them to the heatsink, and then glue the fan on top of the 'washers' this gives a little clearance and helps with the cooling.
