A blast from the past:This old girl needed some cooling, but had to be quiet. I picked up a Thermaltake Copper Orb off fleabay on da cheap ( thx Oldskool). Attached the orb, ramsinks & VRM sinks with Artic Silver Ceramique Epoxy. I'm sure alot of us "old timers" remember these back during the Socket A days. I, for one, modded several Ti4400/4600 video cards with these badboys. Oh the fond memories...
Anyways that dang blower type of stock cooler on the X1800XT was LOUD even during idle and extremely overbearing/anoying during loads & gaming. So I decided to bring back a classic mod. Nice & quiet plus lowered temps. 40c idle and about 50c loaded.
Here she is in all her glory
