OK, here's what I want to do. Maybe I shouldn't do it, and if that's the case somebody please say so.
I have a stock Intel Prescott HSF. The heatsink is the one that has the rounded bifurcated fins, and the round copper interface in the center of it. I want to shoehorn this thing onto my Chaintech card that is ihn mky sig (Chaintech AA6800GT).
What is a good way to attach the beastusing the stock hole locations. Should I use some support for the graphics card?
Is this something that help out alot over what i'm getting now? I'm running 48C at 400/1100 idle and about 53C gaming. At 425/1140 temps go up a little to 50C idle and 60C gaming. I have a solid copper reference cooler at present.
Would this be something that is worth the trouble? Will it help my clocks? Will it help my benchmarks?
I guess I'm trying to justify the weight of the dam* thing. If it's only gonna give me 3 degrees at load, it's not worth the trouble.
