Hi,

Got a new ati 9800 pro today and bought an arctic cooling rev 3 for it... ive noticed that the arctic cooling heatsink gets rather hot.. is that normal?

Is there any known way to mod an arctic cooling rev 3 (ie adding a new fan, increasing the speed of the one in it, or something else?)
 
ive heard of placing a 60 mm fan on top/near it too get optimized cooling im not posotive how to do it though...

1. You tried touching a stock cooler? OUCH!

2. Its making better contact, so more heat is away from the die :)
