Video card new cooling idea I'm trying now

[FIRESTARR357]

What i did was a found a square match box ruffly the shape and size of my vid card,then i cut to holes in it for 2 fans one 60mm delta and one 60mm somthing i'm not sure what.they are the same size though and the other is almost as strong.,then i used cable ties to hold them to the box then i sealed the box to the video card leaving just enough open to let the air out.i'm ganna test how it works.What do you guy's think is this a good idea or bad.

take the matches out first

hehe
i think it might work , if u have a temp probe, measure the temps

 

[FIRESTARR357]

OH CRAP THE MATCHES ,LOL nope no temp probe witch sux i have to just see how far it will go

 

[FIRESTARR357]

Well here are my results so far.This is a geforce 2 mx400 these are the defults

 

[FIRESTARR357]

This is what i have so far.I have not touched the GPU speed yet

 

[FIRESTARR357]

Well this is where i am now.Also can you guy's tell me why when i up my GPU speed i get worse 3dmark scores.

 

[FIRESTARR357]

Still going how does this look so far,I don't really know whats good as far as video card ocing is concernd.

 

[FIRESTARR357]

What should I do now? I can't go any higher on the GPU.

It's my experience that if the scores worsens then it's not stable.

http://www.3dcenter.de/downloads/artifact-tester.php

This program will tell if you there are artifacts on your screen. Not exactly a stability tester, but it works to show if there are artifacts on screen. If there are it usually means the card isn't stable. Running 3dMark2001 is not exactly the best determinant of how stable a card.

This is just MHO...

Well it passed the hardcore test with no problems,Thx for the download.Also it was kinda wierd it would get worse on some better on others so i guess it had suttin to do with the ratio.It's 100% stable as far as I can tell and my 3dmark score is alot better.Any idea's on how i might get the core to go faster because power stip won't let me go any higher

 

[FIRESTARR357]

Any one have any idea?

try rivatuner

 

[gone_fishin]

Use the program NVmax, it has a lot more headroom to clock higher.

 

[FIRESTARR357]

Thx for the downloads.Well it looks like 250 was my limit I tyied both programs and was not able to do any higher than 250.Well I guess for stock heat sink and no ramsinks this ain't bad Thx for the help.
