is this a good idea? seems like a good idea.
has any1 done this mod?
depending on when it's released here in Australia & for what price, i plan on getting a Hercules prophet GTS 2 with 64meg of RAM. i plan on overclocking it to the max. i was recently looking at my removed P3 heatsink a fan of it and thought this could be a good setup my my new card. i'd cut the ends of the heatsink of. drill a couple of holes in the heatsink and then fix it too the board with a couple of screws. IS THERE ENOUGH ROOM UNDER THE HEATSINK AND THE COMPONENTS? IF NOT COULD I PUT A PIECE OF MACHINED COPPER PLATE BETWEEN THE HEATSINK AND THE CHIP, PUT THERMAL COMPOUND ON BOTH SIDES OF THE COPPER PLATE? also if the P3 fan isn't powerful enough i could cut it of and fit a 60mm ystech fan to it.
GOOD MOD HEY? I THINK THIS COULD DO WONDERS IN KEEPING IT COOL WITH THAT HUGE P3 HEATSINK.
