So I have this copper block...

I have a big 1lb heatsink from an old Thermaltake doohickey. What should I do with it? Can I mod it to fit my 6800GT? Here is the heatsink in question, next to a regular 3.5" hard drive.

Whoa, that's almost solid copper
You could mod it to fit your 6800GT if you've got a high power drill and other tools. I doubt it'll work very well considering the weight, you might need some extra support for it.

You also may want to lap the surface to make sure it makes solid contact.
Also, it probably will require extra support.

What else could I use it for? I'm having second thoughts about messing with my 6800GT.

One hell of a chipset cooler.

I have a K8N Neo4 and my 680GT sits right ontop of the north bridge. I could probably some of the center fins off and leave space for the video card. That would be amazing.

I'm using it to cool my router and it is working VERY well.
