Very nice. Do they help?

I bought this used off the FS/FT boards. I never asked the seller if it overclocked well. He never told me. Anyways...couldn't do more than 173MHZ stably...now it does 185MHZ stably.

nobody likey?

lotta work for a damn video card. aside from bragging rights with your overclock, do they actually give you better framerates?

 

[snow patrol]

Yeah, did all that actually help at all?

 

[SuperGroove]

What work? You have to do the same amount of work to switch to another video card cooler anyways. These were just $6.50 a piece, including fans. The hardest thing about the jobbie, was scraping off the glue.

As for framerates...I don't play quake, or benchmark it. I stopped all that after I traded my SDR GeForce for this.

the 5500 reports a nice framerate increase when oveclocking

so if he was ble to get an extra 10 MHz out of it, then yes, it was quite useful

'sides, it's cool!

<thumbs up>

good job!
