Size Heatsink For 8500

Cheesy Peas · Jun 28, 2003

What kinda size heatsink could i fit on my 8500 for extra cooling. Ive got an ali heatsink here thats about 80x60 mm.

whats the biggest you guys have got on yours?

thanx

I would epoxy on a copper 1u heatsink, no weight problems and great cooling. Although you might want to do a good lapping job on both the gpu and heatsink before bonding them together.

I have an old hs off, well, I could'nt tell you what it's off....

55x50mm, and room to spare.

ok thanx, ive got one about the same size as that maxi, but its got big thick fins on it, the other one is kinda like a stock amd one.

I put a 60x60 1U heatsink on mine, but I had to cut a bit to make room for some capacitors

Cheesy Peas · Jun 29, 2003

ive got one that has a base of bout 50x50mm so im gonna use that, and the other one is pretty bang on size for making 8 ram sinks out of.

thanx

50x50mm or 55x55mm is about as big as you can get without having to cut room for capacators.

Do you think I could use an old socket 7 heatsink? Its one of the stock ones I think. the only thing that puts me off is that I cant see how you would fit a fan to it, its just a bunch of fins on a flat base. If anyone knows about these things i would appreciate the ideas. Cheers. Oh yeah this is what they look like Heatsink

Hey Cheesy Peas, did you do it? I'd be really interested to hear how it all turned out (since i'm about to do the same). Please let me know or post your results here. Thanks

Oh, and maybe some pictures or something, i'm kinda instructionally challenged. Well, scared to do it wrong anyway.

I wouldn't go any bigger than an SK6+

Havnt done it yet, im still debating wether or not AS3 and a dab of superglue in the corner is ok, like wether or not the super glue will hold.
Anyone want to encourage me with the superglue thing?
Is it best to mix the two together or just put dabs in the corners?

I know the core itself has a round metal cap and has plastic round the edge so i thought i could cover the copper with AS3, and then apply the superglue around the edges.
What you thihnk?

Cheers

go with AA epoxy

Cheesy Peas · Jul 1, 2003

do i have AA epoxy... No.

Will i pay for AA epoxy when i only need a small amount..... No.

El<(')>Maxi · Jul 1, 2003

Then superglue it.

Oh, and you should prolly lap the new hs and core.......

k1114 · Jul 2, 2003

You shouldn't be cheap if you care about your card. Get some AA adhesive. Don't bother lapping if you are going to use superglue, the way it dries will leave a substantial gap between the surfaces anyway.
