Home-made Vid Card RAM Heatsinks

[clicknext]

Hi, the computer stores around me don't sell vid RAM heatsinks for some reason, so I'm planning to make my own. What I want to do is just cut some old heatsinks that were on old video card gpu's. How do I cut these things?

hacksaw with a good blade and then time w/ a hand file.

sorry, I'm stupid, what's a hacksaw?

handheld saw with really fine teeth, used to cut metal. Does a damn good job of it to. Just beware of the nasty metal shavings it'll make when you cut stuff

[homer] mmmmm dremel tooool! [/homer]

man i use that thing all the time, best 40 bucks i ever spent. well almost.


if you aint got a dremel buy a cheap hack saw. it is not pretty, but is effective and gets the job done.

You'd better just buy some sinks from a vendor, and pay someone to install them for you.

just put a dab of superglue in the corner of some pennies {I'd tell you to lap them( sanded smooth on one side)but that's a violation of Federal law } with a dab of thermal compound in the middle and stick 'em on there, taint purty but it'll work well............
