Check this out. I was wondering what was making my temps go up so much until I felt my GF3 card. My GeForce 3 TI200 has a passive heatsink when it came to me. However, tonight I decided that it was way too hot. After sticking my hand in there I felt around the top of my GeForce3 and WOW it was hot. So I dug around in the misc. Box of parts and the 60mm AMD stock heatsink fan jumped out and onto the card. What I did was remove the fan and spacer. Cut off the tabs that connected the spacer to the heatsink and ground out the holes to accept large enough screws to fit the channels of the heatsink on the GF3. Two screws on in the spacer to make a base to hold the fan to the heatsink of the GF3. After that I use two screws to connect the fan to the spacer. Then WALLA...It works and soo far its working great. I'll hopefully get some pictures. My dad borrowed my digital camera for a trip so... : I'm a little mad...LOL
