Well, I'm using an old Socket-7 heatsink You lose a PCI slot though. Or two if you get a giant cooler


Superglue at the corners, arctic silver grease in the center..

Thermal epoxy sucks

One of these bad boys from 2Cooltek sure wouldn't hurt.

Don't forget to add a Card Cooler or even a Card Cooler XT!

Those should help ya.

Tennmax's Lasanga

Heat sink guide here

Check here and see if yours is listed. I have this on the tnt2 ultra & G400 and it doesn't take a slot. Pretty nice.

ehh ohh yah...
damn..
never thought of editing...
yeah
so what is Artic silver??
is it a heatsink glue???
so i can use that stuff to connect the headsink to the GPU??
and do i need to use other stuff??

 

[Vegito]

That alpha is way too expensive! I was gonna get a few for tight spot fc-pgas but it was 35 bucks else where instead of the 32 which is better... artic silver is a thermal paste, fills the imperfection gaps between cpu & headsink or heatsink don't use too much.

 

[WaaZzuupp]

Is artic silver a type of glue??
how are you goign to connect the chip set to the heatsink???

i found a cool video cooling set

artic silver isn't a kind of glue. Its just a highly thermally conductive paste that you put between a chip and a heatsink. It doesn't bond with either so it won't be sticky enough to hold the heatsink to the chip by itself, especially considering the video chip is usually on the other side of video cards. You'll need to fasten the heatsink to the chip by some other way if you decide to use artic silver, or any other thermal grease that isn't an epoxy for that matter. Most video cards already come pre-installed with heatsinks which are plugged into the card via 2 holes, so you might be able to use those 2 holes somehow.
