Custom Passive Cooling for the geForce FX5700Ultra

[newParadigm]

Basically its a cut up PentiumII Heatsink, and a Stock Athlon XP Heatsink chopped in half.

The Cooler for the core was mounted on a chopped peice of the original mountin plate, and soldered on.

:::EDIT:::

Yep it runs, and get me a HUGE OC.

Core up from 475 to 550.

and Memory from 900 (stock) to 1050.

Will play demanding games such as Doom 3/F.E.A.R. for hours with no problem, and gets decent 3dmarks (like 1400 in 3DMark05)

oooooook?

Edit: you will probably fry your card, fyi =)

Dreamy.

me and my high school physics book are of the opinion that merely slapping a fan on something or pointing a fan at something does not constitute active cooling. to be correct, you'd have to say, custom fanless cooling...

how did it look before?

 

[keeleysam]

Overclocking results?

Looks like that would take up the space of three slots and a hard-drive bay.
