ermm....

bro,

u wanna try out the FAN CARD....

u can DIY the FAN CARD, using 2 x 80mm FAN or 2x 92mm FAN and 1x PCI BACK SLOT and 15 pieces of cable ties..

U need an extra PCI slot underneath the AGP card to install this DIY CARD.

U can use Stock AMD heatsinks on ur card....

thermal paste can get from Computer shops, or u can even buy from some online forummers here in LYN.

moderno / dinster / bombman

they have a few thermal paste's for sale...

where 2 get?xpensive?cable ties is what?like ide cable?
dun hv amd...running on p4

how do i pull off that original heatsink from the memory. it seem stuck hard. afraid of pulling it forcely....

2 x 80 mm FAN (Can get from Garage sales for RM 5 - RM 10 / per piece)

Cable Ties (Can get from Hardware Shop - RM 1 for 10 pcs - 20 pcs)

Can get the amd heatsink from garage sales too around RM 5 - 25 ..

Extra pci slot cover - from ur casing ...

Have a Look... maybe u could find a cheap one to mod..

TOTAL : RM 10 + RM 1 + RM 10 = RM 21



If u need more, maybe i wud have to make a guide...

but my camera sucks at nite time.... darn....

Original heatsink from ur Grapich Card's Memory ?

erm...

try twisting it a bit.... ( MAKE SURE U HAVE PULLED OUT ALL THE CLIPS attached to the heatsink.)

it should come off....

GOOD LUCK

lol...i tot when u typed FAN CARD(all capital letters) means it's some sort of brand or model sorry 2 my bad
ok, say, after got evrything...how 4 put it 2gether?
if possible, want 2 cool both top n bottom of the card...directing the hot air outside like arctic silencer

hohoho...

no lah.....

if u have everything i will show u how to put it together...

erm...

i will try and make a guide ASAP...

now the camera with me but the lighting will suck.

so maybe its best i do it during daylight....

its only to cool from bottom, if from top i dunt think its possible, but u could, be CREATIVE

If u want something like artic silencer, then i suggest u get a PCI Exhaust FAN CARD, or ARTIC SILENCER

the only cheap way to direct air out is PCI exhaust fan card.

This DIY Fan Card is just a cheap option to cool down ur GC. thats all

Here is the image of My PCI EXHAUST FAN CARD. sucking air from my GC

NOT the 2x 80mm FAN CARD.

ic...but i prefer blowing onto the gc, not sucking
i believe blowing cools better than sucking...cos most cooler blows 2 the heatsink instead of sucks...must b a good reason bhind it
mayb the dual fan will b interesting

yeah.... i agree....

i did'nt have time to DIY a new one....

erm maybe i ll make a quick one...

just to show u how it may look...

Maybe give me 2 days ....

u should get urs and i will guide u in making 1

thanks man
btw, that pci card...u DIY or buy 1 piece like that?i mean complete w/ fan n director(what do we call that thing huh? ) that directs air out of the casing

The one i am currently using is bought as is.... its called.

PCI EXHAUST FAN CARD / PCI FAN CARD


the one i am about to DIY is from scratch.

i heard not so good things about coolviva but i also heard good things from internet review, how is it rate actually? any pros and cons?

i dunt know....

i tried COOLVIVA before....

I trierd OCing My GC, after a few hours i get artifacts and a lot of em....

so

after that, my pc kept restarting each time it loads windows...

i took out the GC and reinstall back the original Heatsink.

and use a 2x 80mm FAn to blow at the heatsink.

Wala... My GC is back to normal.....

i prefer to use the 2x 80mm FAN than the CoolVIVA

there goes my money going down the drain
