My roommate's brand new S1 was idling his 8800GT@65 :bang head, so he decided the passive setup wasn't going to cut the mustard. Title pretty much says it all...


:screwy:
The setup is composed of:
- 1" glass penguin figurine :santa:
- 2 AA batteries
- wire
- lots of tape
- dismantled mini-desk fan

After the addition temps dropped from 65@idle to about 45. Pretty impressive I thought!

Anyone have similar lack of performance from the S1, or with this particular card? Anybody added anything similar?

Thats pretty ghetto alright. Likely a 92mm or 120mm fan and a couple zipties would yield better results without the hassle of having to change batteries.
