One of the most Ghetto Mods I've ever seen

[MichaelD]

You've got to see this. I would bet that NVidia has NOT approved this as an "OEM Approved Mod."

It was over in C&C, but I laughed so hard I nearly feel out of my chair, so I thought I'd share it here.


Check out the advanced, aerospace technology used to secure the HS to the card.

I thought this thread was going to be a pic of Anandtech Moderator living in a box.

Redneck video card cooler

[andylawcc]

haha... is the CPU on top of the existing video card's hsf? hhahaha

 

[Doggiedog]

LOL

That's what I kinda did with my GF3. The tiny fan was so loud it was spoiling my newly silenced PC so I grabbed a 90MM fan connected with 4 twist ties and silenced it.

sweet!

they should try rubbing the card on the carpet too. I'm sure the static charge will give it at least another 10-20 FPS in Doom3.

I find the fact that they put a heatsink ontop of another heatsink more alarming than the twine.....

 

[ApacheXMD]

yeah the HS over HS is retarded.
The twine is ok. I've done worse with string and tape on a heatsink

-patchy

Well cooling it that way is kinda stupid but not as stupid as putting the Card bare on Carpet. ESD OVERLOAD

I was just showing the proper way to install a large HS unit on a video card.

My 9700 is passively cooled and overclocked, and my 9800 is actively cooled by a 5v 60mmx10mm fan.

my POS asus 4200 fan broke, so i took a huge 80MM case fan and attached it to it using rubber bands (later zip strips) it took up 4 PCI slots next to the AGP slot.
