I am thinking about using this as a cooler for my GPU on my geforce3 TI 500. It looks small enough to just glue it on and also looks like it has a good amount of surface area. Let me know what you all think :D

This is the link to check it out:

For the same price you can get This (http://1coolpc.com/jag.htm) and its definitly a better performer hands down, In fact its one of the best IU coolers on the market.
(don't take my word on it, look Here (http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1571&p=2) for a IU cooler roundup

Do you know if the Jag will definitely fit on the Geforce 3? It's 10mm larger.

Either of these coolers where made for CPU use right? If that is the case, Either will probably need to be modded a little to fit on any video card that have capacitors very close to the GPU. If you want something that won't get in the way and is made for a videa card or northbridge, just go with a Blue Orb or a Crystal Orb. Of course, that just my opinion and I could be wrong. ;)

Ive put a Alpha Pal 15u 60x60mm on a GF2 pro, GF2 Ultra and GF3 and the only time I had to modify the HSF is when I put the 60x60mm Heatsink on my Radeon 8500 and even then the modification was minimal

I havent tried it with the Jag but its almost identicle in size as an Alpha pal 15u

the cooljag loks very hard to modify as it is made out of different bits. the other (first) 1U heatsink is only 50x50mm and should fit better
