I just got this card from a friend(he got a GF2MX today in the mail),
so I decided that the little ass heatsink fan combo was not enough. At
first I thought that a nice 120mm Panaflo fan I had laying around would
be just right, but it was too large for the heatsink. So instead I decided
on a Flomax fan I had laying around. Here is the picture I took before
installing it.
Lucky for me I have the room in my case since one of my PCI cards caught
fire. See here and
here ). With this mod
I think the card should easily be able to do 600MHz Core 730MHz memory
without breaking a sweat. With a 80 watt peliter I think I could pull 1GHz
for each. When I get a chance I'm proably gonna fix it where it covers
the memory chips as well and it should hit 1.5GHz, better than that new
fangled P4 chip I saw.
* Note: This is a joke, BUT, I can make this happen with a few nylon
screws and my trusty drill stand(s). But I'll proably use another heatsink
as this one would require the removal of some fins in order to keep the
horizontal mounting as the current holes in the heatsink would make it
mount diagonal. But the heatsink does have the ability to cover EVERYTHING
on the video card.
