Extra cooling for my gpu

aronmartin · 02-27-04, 08:02 PM

I modded my old p4 heatsink to fit my geforce 4 card. check it out

Cyberwiz01 · 02-27-04, 08:06 PM

that's a pretty clean job you did there. Do you have any pics from other angles? Did it increase your overclock, and by how much?

dead_man311 · 02-27-04, 08:12 PM

that is wicked looking, what kind of inprovment's did you get ?

very nice job

aronmartin · 02-27-04, 08:12 PM

I can get some other pics of it. I will link them here when I get them. I'm still working on the overclock. I don't seem to be getting as high as I want to. I may have to increase my agp voltage. I have had it to this being stable 300/500 stock was 250/450

dead_man311 · 02-27-04, 08:14 PM

id like to see them when you get them up

so far its looking pertty good will smoke my card in my sig

Here is a pic of the back side of the card. I mounted the hs on similar to how my sp-94 is mounted using a backing plate. More pics to come....

Wow, you should be getting near ambient with that monster.

icebezzel · 02-28-04, 03:35 AM

Thats awesome man. what did you use for that backing plate?

aronmartin · 02-28-04, 08:13 AM

The backing plate is just a piece of steel plate from a old computer case. I used a non conductive pad that could withstand heat in between the plate and the board. It is actually the padding that came inside the sp-94 box.

Nice mod ,Aron. I knew that stock monster was good for something other than a paper wieght..

Chaser · 03-05-04, 04:16 PM

hahah arch thats funny, cool mod man, i have like 3 of those sitting around, lol, good to see they could be used for some purpose

Timdog · 03-05-04, 04:21 PM

How much more of an OC have you gotten from the card? That is a very proffesional looking job.

aronmartin · 03-05-04, 10:28 PM

I'm still working on the overclock yet. last stable result was 300/500. Thanx for the compliments

I have another pic here (finally...) this is the card in my rig.
